Thats fine, as long as the information is stored for at least some sort of time period and not just shown as a real-time reflection of what the database says, JIC the system goes down and the real-time data cannot be accessed :yay:

...ever. These are details best left to the cyber wizards. The main point is that it is NO BIG deal to do this.

There is no age rules at the commissary. And you don't always save money there anyway.

no age rule, but there are conditions to use it.

you can leave the law at 21 to drink, but, consider it a privilage to drink at 18 should certain conditions be met.

Is there law saying I can't shop the NEX, or will I simply be denied service if I attempt to due to my credentials (or lack there-of)? :popcorn:

I thought that drinking was a privilage that could be revoked from anyone at any age.

Lowering the drinking age now would mean that Andi and Jonni could drink now. Leaving it where it is means they could drink next year. The obvious choice is to raise it so that Andi and Jonni can not drink.

I'm kinda digging the idea of a consumption permit.
I think the permit shouldn't be an all or nothing permit. Some people are good on beer but the devil on whiskey.
Consumption Permit classifications just like drivers licenses??

A few bugs to work out, but the overall concept is attractive
Good job!! :yay:

Now YOU explain.
To my understanding, anyone who is above the age of 21 can legally consume alcohol...:eyebrow:

A judge can order you not to consume alcohol. They generally suspend a sentence with the condition that if you drink you go to jail.

THis is for people arrested for DWI mostly, right? I know I've heard of the idea a judge can order you can have no BAC when driving, but I didn't realize they could apply it to general life :shrug:

I dont know about shielding them from themselves. If you let 18 year olds drink then thats just more people drinking and driving so it would be shielding them from us.

So you think we should RAISE the drinking age..to say 30?

And the college presidents came forward with this idea because 18 year olds are drinking ANYways. The problem is since it's illegal for them to drink in say a bar or restaurant the only time they drink is in their dorm rooms or at parties where they drink themselves into oblivion.

I don't think lowering the age is going to put more drunks on the road, they are already there. How many accidents did we have in St Mary's county last year with <21 year old drivers that were impaired? I know of at least one fatality caused by a drunk 19 year old driver,

Lower the age.

Now you really want to get your dander up? How abour RAISING the BAC level for DUI? What is it now? .08? how many fatal accidents are caused by someone driving at a .08? Base it on research, statistics, not some feel good mamby pamby "The MADD people said it was the right thing to do!!"
