old enough to go to war, old enough to drink :2 cents:

It should be 18 IMHO. It's not like they don't get it anyway.. So they might as well make it legal.. Never understood why they are old enough to go get killed in a war but not old enough to drink.

I was caught in the change too -- I missed being legal at 19 by 63 days. Like others, that really did not stop me from drinking.
Driving drunk is a bad thing. (I should know, I did it often enough!) But drinking when you are 18 years old, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. Tougher drunk driving laws and enforcement reduce drunk driving casualties; raising the drinking age is an end run around really addressing the issue. The Mothers Against Drunk Driving would bring back Prohibition if they could and they will come up will all kinds of junk science to prove their point I support lowering the drinking age to the age of majority --once you become an adult you should be able to do all adult things. It make no sense that at 18 you can go to an adult prison, you can join the military and get killed in war, you can be in porn and get fucked by 100 different people on camera, but you cannot legally go have a drink afterwards. Legalize pot too. Nobody ever OD'ed on pot. If you drive when you are stoned, you drive really slow (still stupid, but safer than driving drunk when you want to drive fast), and when you are stoned you love everybody and don't get into fights like drunk people do. |

They recently had a push here in Ontario to raise the age to 21. The current age is 19.
I guess years ago it was 18 but they said there were problems with students showing up drunk at school, so they raised it to 19. That at least makes sense, but I have no idea why they would want to change it to 21 now. Needless to say it didn't get passed. I think the more sensible thing would be to allow bars to stay open all night if they want, that way there isn't a big rush at 2 AM with all the drunks pouring out onto the street and trying to get cabs all at the same time. Would cut down on fighting for sure. |

What the 24 hour drinking does, here in a small town, is it creates a complete other level of society. A really fucking ugly one that lives at night, and doesn't do much in the daytime. Maybe in some places like NY that works, but some places it should not be ok. I live in the fucking bible belt by a catholic school with little church ladies, but then there is this creepy element that pops up in the middle of the night. I hear them walkingbeing loud and drunk at night, on holiday weekends, like zombies... they need a fucking curfew and I would vote for it. Drunks dont know how to stop sometimes. |
I think it should STAY 21 here in the States because what's gonna happen is that people drinking is gonna go from 18-20 year old people illegally drinking to 15-17 year old people illegally drinking which I think would be MORE of a problem.

It's still safe enough around here that you don't have to worry much about weapons coming out, just some good drunken brawls... mostly white college students trying to perform moves they seen on the UFC. There's always one guy who thinks he can do a roundhouse kick.:winkwink: |
The AVERAGE 21 year old American is too immature to be drinking. 18 is simply stupid.

I think 18 is old enough to drink and to drive (not at the same time obviously). :pimp
At least with 18, they can go to jail if they kill or hurt someone when driving. You can't allow a child to drive if then you are not allowing to put him in jail if he kills someone. 16 years-old should be forbidden to drive alone. They should get allowed to drive ONLY if they go with a 21 years-old or older next to them. In Andorra, they can drive that way. And not any adult can be by his side. Only a tutor or a parent that signed when the guy got his license. He should get another licence whe he becomes of age. :) |

Fact is it wasn't hard to find any adult of any age to buy you some beer if you gave them a few $ for the effort. Fcat is if you don't want 16 and 17 year olds driving drunk raise the driving age to 18 like it should be anyways. |
18 is old enough he can do what he wants
|
18 is old enough to explore the outside world!
