> Why 18-20 are isolated from 21+?
We have 18-year olds in high school in America. The headline risk from a 40-something sleeping with a high-school student is probably something Roblox wants to get ahead of.

Yes but an 18yo can also buy a gun, get drafted into the military, and produce OF/porn.
But no alcohol.
That’s just a US quirk. In many countries you can buy alcohol when you’re 18+.
It’s odd that you can do everything but drink. Like you can go to work, drive home to your wife and kids, but can’t have a beer lol.

My understanding is it’s because of car culture. Drunk-driving deaths drove up the drinking age [1].

Sure. What does that have to do with Roblox?
They can drink, just not publicly.
Depends on the state. In some, even children under 18 can drink in a bar if their parents buy (I think Wisconsin).
And its not all the US at 21 to buy, in Puerto Rico you can buy alcohol at 18. Federally all those are legal at 18.
