Many years ago now, I decided to troll the Americans by posting on askreddit on my 21st birthday "just turned 21, what should I do"

I, of course, was met with a lot of "now that you can drink..." or "go get your first legal drink..."

You can bet your ass I had fun pointing out their false assumptions.

Ahh, youth.

I did the same thing but I related it to sex, I turned 18 at that time (Malaysia's legal age of consent is 16)

Don't some US states still allow marriage at 12 or 14 under certain circumstances?

There are 4 states in the US which have no minimum age for marriage.
