Do you think the drinking age should be lowered? ?!
Do you think the current drinking age encourages binge drinking that is dangerous!? According to CNN and my local news station, college Presidents are lobbying for the drinking age to be lowered!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
This is what im saying to a lot of my classmates!.!.!. That because of the greed of people now, they do not care if the younger group gets vices and addiction, as long as the cause of their addiction is their product!. NO ! this should be discouraged, not only because it will greatly affect the health of the younger people!. They are also increasing the percentage of unwanted accidents, pregnancies, deaths, lawsuits and much more!. We cannot deny that a lot of crimes happen because the suspect is drunk, NOW are they willing to risk this many factors just 2 make their asses richer, every second they steal live from youth is an addition to their money banks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well, it depends!. If you mean lowered critically, to the legal age being 15, than absolutely not!. If you mean lowered by a few years, like 18, then maybe!. If people can learn to drink responsibly, it might be OK!. But if it is lowered to 18, there should be more rules, like none during school hours, etc!. But the original drinking and driving, and drinking limit will still be in tact, making it not so bad!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
No!. Lowering the drinking age will create more disasters as nowadays, youngsters are drinking more!. this can increase the occurrence of accidents on roads, adolescents becoming more violent and not respecting parents!. there should be a distint difference between the adult and youngsters opprtunity in drinking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i think that lowering the age isn't such a bad idea it's the fact that parents don't really teach their kids the right drinking ethics, if kids were just smart about drinking it wouldn't be that big of a problem!. other places in the world have a lower drinking age and they're just fine, plus the fact that you can go and die for you country, that your mature enough to make that decision to serve and possible die, but you can't have a drink and your barely old enough to buy cigarettes i think this countries morals are twisted in that way!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not no but HELL NO! There are enough deaths what with drunk driving, alcohol poisoning ,suicide!. Then the rest of alcohol related injuries and accidents make the argument for raising the drinking age!.Not to mention the sheer idiocy that comes from the alcohol induced geniuses!. What this country needs is more drunks , druggies and smart mouthed young punks!Www@FoodAQ@Com
what promotes binge drinking is over bearing parents!. If they weren't so uptight about their kids seeing people drinking socially possibly even getting drunk then it wouldn't be such a facination to the kids!. they get out of mom and dad's control and go nuts!. Personally I was aloud to drink at 13 all i needed to do is ask and I got what I want!. I didn't go nuts when I hit 21 because it was not a big deal to have a drink or 10!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
well i live inthe UK where the drinking age is 18 but its enforced that much so i know that most kids ahed 16 drink!. i dont think its that much of an issue as long they drink responsibibly andlearn their limits!.
It seems a bit weird that people are able to start a family and get married but not responsible enough to drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I personally think that as long as a teen has supervision, what's the big deal!? I wouldn't have a problem with my teen drinking in the house if I was there to watch and do it with them!. I don't think it's any of the laws business either if I let my teen have a drink in our home!. In England, teens are allowed to drink with their parents in pubs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, definitely not, there are already far too many young people drinking as it is, and to lower the legal drinking age would only encourage more young people to start!. Leave well alone!. I also have a notion that the drink manufacturers my be holding a secret lobby onthis idea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Rest assured the college professors did not come up with the idea, they were approached to join in the movement!.
I do not think it should be lowered, but then I have a 19 year old son who's brain seemed to disappear when he turned 18!. I am hoping it reappears shortly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think kids are going to drink if they want to regardless of laws!.
I did grow up in Germany where one could basically drink whenever!.
It did seem to make it less tempting to drink with fewer strict laws!.
I tried it when I was living there when I was 15-20 years old!. I didn't drink very much at all !.
Once I came to the US and hung around my friends here there was more pressure to drink!.
A lot of my American friends are alcoholics now!. I'm glad to say I'm not!.
It's difficult to say, but I do think if you forbid something, someone is more likely to do it just to rebel!.

Yes, to 18 years old!. It is stupid that a kid can vote, drive, fight in a war, work, pay taxes, and smoke, but can't have a beer!.
In many European countries it is customary to let a teenage have a bit of champagne on new years eve, or a bit of wine with supper but in America it is a crime if the child has a sip of wine!. This is sheer stupidity!.
And I'm a non-drinker!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure I do: if you can vote in an election, serve your country, and smoke a cigarette; pipe; or cigar, why not be able to have a beer at 18!? also, the US is the only country with a drinking age of 21 (highest in the world)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think maturation has been discouraged in our young people, so in light of that, I think it should be raised to 25, and college presidents should be paid on commission basis--the more returning students they have, the more they earn!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, we are in a country where you can be drafted at 18 and die for your country before your allowed to drink!. At the same time, why can you buy cigarettes at age 18, I feel as if they are a much more harmful substance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, for the simple reason that 18 year olds can go off to war and fight for their country and yet when they return home they're not allowed to walk into a bar and have a beer!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I read that article as well!. I think if you are old enough to vote and especially if you are old enough to serve in the military, you should be old enough to drink as well!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Generally no, but i believe the people in the service have the right to legally drink!. Makes sense, if you loose a leg at least let the guy drown his troubles in some alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i really don't know the answer to that because some 18 year olds are responsible enough to handle it and some 21 year olds aren't!.
i guess it's best to leave it alone!.

Honestly, I rather would see them raise the age to join the military to twenty-one!. I think the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
college presidents are alcoholics, and if the drinking age is lowered it won't change much anyways!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i don't think it should be lowered it would cause to much things that could go wrong there is already problems with drinking these days why should they increase the amount if we already got problems !?Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, because every teenager has proved at some point they are irresponsible when it comes to drinking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it doesnt matter either way cos whoever wants to drink is going to!. 14 year olds already drink as they please!. why make it legal!? Thats just stupid!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, if you're considered an adult at 18 and can basically do whatever you want, why shouldn't you also be able to drink!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes to 13, they should also reverse the law that doesnt allow you to drink and drive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
