Why is beer so bad for under aged?!

If it's done responsibly I don't see why someone over 18 can't drink alcohol, every other country in the world that allows alcoholic drinks has a drinking age of no older than 18 except for a few Canadian provinces that have 19 and up!. The US is the only country that has 21 and up, I don't think it would be a good idea to lower it to 16 like some countries, since kids start driving at that age it wouldn't be a good idea, but there is nothing wrong with someone over 18 drinking it as long as they aren't drinking and driving!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually it isn't!. Such things as Cough Medicine contain 17%alcohol, and Vanilla Extract which we use in baking contains 35% alcohol!. Most European countries allow people to drink at the age of 16, and some have no drinking age at all!. Drinking a beer or two will not do any damage!. On the other hand it could lead to an alcoholic addiction in the future!. If you enjoy responsibly and not in excess, you will be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well they say that if you drink at a young age then you will have a higher chance of become an alcoholic as an adult!.
but i drink and im only 15!. and there is nothing wrong with me, i make straight a's in school!. so i dont see any harm in it!. and i both my friends parents are alcoholics and i never want to be like that, so im never going to end up being alcoholic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not just beer - all alcohol!. There have been lots of studies done that show the brain is not fully developed until the age of 21 and that alcohol will negatively affect it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
