The result is that kids don't regard drinking alcohol as anything 'special' or to brag about. They don't get fake id's to buy beer. They don't ask 'older' people to buy them beer. They don't get drunk as a way to stand out. Beer's just... beer.

It's the "drinking attitude" in America that is the real problem.
People act like idiots and play drinking games where they do shot after shot of booze.
Then there are the ones that brag about how much they can drink and how they
can "hold" their liquor.
The emphasis is always on getting "hammered" by a lot of people.
Better education about drinking is needed, but that could be part of the deal.
States must have a solid alcohol education program in the schools before any
law will change.
