Question: What should the drinking age be for archaic beverages 18,16,or 21 and why you think so !?
Answers:
i say keep it at 21 because right now it's 21 and people are still drinking at 15 - 20 years of age!. if you lower it to 16 it might drop even lower putting children into the line of high proof fire!. as far as people being old enough to drink at 18 because of the war issue i agree completely except that nobody is shipped off to war anymore they volunteer in this country!. but if you are old enough to sign your life away doesn't mean you should be allowed to sign everybody up for danger because you drank and possibly drove!. i'd say keep it at 21 because we all need that extra few years to mature and fall into a responsible rhythm of adult behavior!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its 21 because people want to reduce the number of road deaths!. Now, I don't know about you, but I think that if you can join the army at 18, get married at 18 and smoke at 18 then you should drink ay 18!. If they want to reduce the number of road deaths then do what practically every other country on the planet does and make the driving age at least 17, if not 18!. also, it seems Americans can't drink responsibly (or more specifically, american teenagers), or over drink because of the allure of rebelling by breaking the law!. So, by lowering the age I think the same thing that happened in Amsterdam with marijuana will happen in America - it will hit an all time high for about a year, then go down a HUGE amountWww@FoodAQ@Com

i agree with blaine jane on the whole war thing!. i think if you are legally an adult at 18 then you should also be able to drink at 18 it only makes sense and if they want to keep it at 21 then maybe they should make everything at 21!. but 16 no i dont think that should be it at all 16year olds are dumb sorry i was there and 4 years later wow 16 year olds are dumb lol!. also i dont drink so i dont care really im just not into it tho teh first time i did get compeltely wasted i was only 14 so it really doesnt matter anyway cuz kids will do what they want ot do no matter how hard it is same with cigarettes so whatever!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think it should remain at 21!.

as someone who used to drink and party a lot
(im only seventeen now)!.!.!.!.

i found it relatively easy to obtain alcohol at only about 15 years old!.

lowering the age to 18 or 16 will just result in more deaths and an earlier introduction to disgusting behavior!.

i'm absolutely positive of that!.

however, i don't think it's fair that an 18 year old can be shipped off to fight in an unjust war, but isn't not allowed to have a drink of beer!.

if the legal age of alcohol consumption remains at 21 then the age of draft should be 21 too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I definitely think it should stay at 21!. I used to drink a lot before I was 21, and for some reason being 21 made me a lot more responsible than I was before!. At 21 people have a lot more to lose than they do at younger ages!. For example, my job requires that I have a clear record!.!.!. including driving and such!. Life requires people to be more responsible as they get older, and when people obtain that responsibility they should be able to have the rewards!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
