[Legal] Drinking Age?

Spoiled · 12-11-2004, 11:41 AM

Its a well known fact, that most people start drinking before their 21st birthday, and at 18 one can be drafted to serve our country or do it on their own accord.

Is the drinking age fine where it is, should it be changed? why?

:martini: :drunk:

or is this me?:

Whenever you get thirsty as long as you don't drive.

There hasn't been a draft in over 30 years, but if they bring it back that would be a point of contention, until then isn't it simply moot?

Wait that extra couple of years before you start killing those braincells.

Glad to hear that you are registered, but the fact is that they aren't calling anyone up and those that do join do so of their own free will. Why are you in such a hurry to alter your personality with a substance like alcohol? It won't make you cool or popular. All it will do is help you do things you normally wouldn't do if sober.

In 1982 the percent of alcohol related driving fatalities was running at about 60%, in 2002 it was down to 41%. Has the rise of the legal age contributed to this reduction, I think it has and for that reason alone I think it should remain where it is.

18, 19, and 20 year olds are to stupid to be drinking.

Then tell them (us) not to go die for you. I was over there when I was below the drinking age, and we used to get pissed when we'd return home because we could no longer order a beer with dinner (over there, nobody cares).
