I know in Australia where the drinking age is 18 that there is a lot less car accidents as people are not trying to hide the fact that they are drunk, instead they call a taxi or organise a designated driver!. What I am trying to say is that there will always be underage drinking and denying that and making teenagers hide that they have been drinking (even if they are experiencing everything else that happens in the adult world) is incredibly irresponsibe by the law makers!. They should lower the age so teenagers don't have to sneak around and organise designated driver schemes or even courtesy buses!. You'll find the same amount of people will be drinking, however, there is a tendancy to be less binge drinking because they want to be drunk before they have to be picked up by adults or drive home so their parents can assume that they are responsible and doing the right thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, I do!.
It'd take a lot of stupid teen deaths and suffering but in the end, yes I still think it should be lowered!. I think it should be like Germany where you can drink beer at 16 and hard liquor at 18!. When you grow up in Europe, drinking is not a big deal like it is here!. You grow up drinking a glass of wine here and there, its not something forbidden that you want just because you can't have it!. If you can fight in a war and die then you can drink alcohol and die!. To me, that part is just natural selection!. Yeah, I know its harsh but people, even teens, need to start using common sense and stop acting like kids if they want to be treated like adults!. I'm 19 btw and have had plenty of experience with alcohol so far!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you can get arrested and be charged as an adult and if you can join the armed forces and risk your life for your country, yes, the age should be lowered to 18, because, if we set all these limitations on today's youth, they'll be very tempted to "bend" the rules and act all bad@ss and STILL acquire alcohol underage, so they'll binge and even drive impaired!. everything is to be enjoyed in moderation!.

Absolutely yes!. If you can enlist in the military and smoke things that give you cancer then you should be able to drink!. It's bullshit that you can't and look like usual, we are on of the only countries with this high of a drinking age, I believe Japan is second highest at 20!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't think it matters if they lower the drinking age or not!. People are going to drink anyway, whether they're 21 or 16!. People drink underage already, so changing the drinking age officially isnt really going to make a difference in anyone's actions!. You get what i'm sayin!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
No!.!.!. there are 18 yr olds on here that don't even know about how a person gets pregnant or are whining about their mommy and daddy being so mean!. Who can't write even basic sentences!.!. who still are asking questions like!.!.!. I texted him 20 times and he only texted me backted twice does you think he likes me!?!. If the average 18 yrs old now is that immature and uneducated, booze is definitely way beyond their ability to handle!. So no!. Probably raise it to 23 actually!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Its 18 in Canada and society hasn't gone down the toilet!. You are considered and adult at 18 so you should be able to make your own decisions like if you want to drink and/or smoke!.

It'd kinda take the whole "forbidden fruit" thing out of it for the 18-20 crowd, which might be good!. Plus, I figure if you're old enough to vote, get married, or join the Marine Corp, you ought to be able to buy yourself a beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The drinking age should not be lowered for anyone under the age of 18!. To be honest with you I believe the drinking age should be 21 like cigarettes!. ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com
No! In fact prohibition should have never been repealed!. Drinking is evil!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Noooooo they should higher it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's a "catch-22"!. If someone isn't old enough to be responsible with alcohol, then WHY do we send 18-yr!.olds off to war !?Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes definitly, because at the age of eighteen you are considered an adult!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
