Hayden Panettiere Says Drinking Age is Too High

She’s been hard at work up in Vancouver, British Columbia on her latest project “I Love You Beth Cooper.” And now Hayden Panettiere is back in the States.

Last night, the “Heroes” hottie was spotted treating her mother Lesley to a late dinner at the celebrity-friendly Katsuya restaurant in Los Angeles, California.

And in a recent interview, Miss Panettiere made it known that she’s none too keen on the drinking age in America. She told press, "I can buy porn or kill someone in war but I can't have a glass of wine. If I could change one thing about America, it would be its ridiculous age limits on things.”

She continued, "That's why I love visiting Britain. I can walk into a bar and order a drink without having to show my passport. That's so cool."
