Set drinking age back to 18? Fix economy?
I have been wondering about this for a while.
I wonder if setting the drinking age back to 18 would cause restaurants, bars and
stores to increase income enough to be significant.
I can image 18 years olds going to decent restaurants and now the bills is 50% more
because they bought drinks.
Night life is now more active because they can get into bars.
Retail stores may want to stay open later because there are more people on
the street at night going and coming from bars.
Maybe drug use slows down since it makes more since to go into a bar and drink
than it does to go to a crack house or "hang out" doing meth.
Many 18 yrs old are drinking anyway, they are just doing it illegally and on the CHEAP!
Only the crooked store clerk that's sells to underage is making the money.
Crooked mofo's are probably crooked when they file taxes too.
I worked as a bouncer and one night I caught 10 fake IDs and I was only one of
4 bouncers. So the teens willing to try a fake ID, are out there in
significant numbers. It's the honest teens that get the shaft.
No way in hell did I catch every fake ID, some of them got in.
