It's been what, 3 years at least? Plus the mocktails were non-alcoholic.

True. I think that the depetrified high schoolers are around 20 at this point. Add in that a legal drinking age is a social construct, and it comes down to whether they choose to follow an old-world law. The only one who specifically says they are too young is Suika.
I will say that episode 2 is kind of odd. Certain parts left me wondering if there is really enough run time to spend on them. On the other hand, the trip seems to be going by pretty fast, probably because there isn't time to spend on it and end up short changing the stuff in America, which clearly has some antagonists in it.
I do question including Hyoga and co. I think the only antagonist who really changed their ways was Tsukasa. Even Magma was, well, Magma when the opportunity presented itself in the last arc. Defeated enemies don't seem to become allies so much as learn to bide their time, and this is the second time where Hyoga gets revived when Senku wants something from him.

Have they said what time of year it currently is? If they expect to find wild dent corn in CA where he stuck his map pin, it doesn't snow there, except on rare occasions when a light snow might be on the ground for a few hours. If they're headed inland, they won't beat the snow anyway (given the images, I assume that's his concern), having to cross two mountain ranges to get there. Without irrigation, I wonder where they're going to find any west of the Mississippi. I look forward to seeing how they go about this.

Technically, all the characters from modern times are over 3000 years old, so they're way over the legal age! Plus, it wouldn't matter anyway since the modern society that made those rules don't exist anymore.

I don't read the manga yet the cuts and edits were quite obvious this time.
They were obvious before but this time was too much, from the camera stopping just 10cms before showing Kohaku's ass to the powerpoint presentation to the rushed explanations.
They really want to get to USA quick.

So, I went and checked the manga and funny enough, the slideshow is actually in there, even more, the anime adds more scenes, funny.
