Do you think the drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18?!
If yes or no back up your answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It's a no-brainer ;of course it should !.
At 18 years old a person is legally an adult and as such they are legally allowed to:
Vote
Serve on juries
Buy /rent property
Sign contracts
Get sued
Get married
Incur debt
Get tried as adults
Join the military
Kill people
Make life and death medical decisions about themselves , their spouses, their children ,their parents and so on and so forth
Despite all of the adult rights and responsibilities that is given to these 18 year old people somebody arbitrarily decided that they lacked the judgment to use alcohol wisely and so should be denied the opportunity to do so!.
Honestly I don't see how the State gets away with that kind of blatant class discrimination
I really don't

To dogllebe:
Not everybody here is a kid
I'm old enough to have had a draft card and a draft physical
I also grew up in NYC when the legal drinking age was 18 !.
The combination of your draft card and your DL [neither of which had a photo] would get you into any barWww@FoodAQ@Com

sorry im about to stray a little bit but!.!.!.!.no i dont think it should be lowered but i think the age to be admitted into the army should increase to at least the drinking age sure you can come fight and die for your country but you cant drink {{eye roll}} and i dont think it should be reversed you can go into the army at 18 so you should be able to drink i think it should be a minum of 21 to be in the army and to drink i think the majority of the people dont totally realise the serverity of their actions at 18 i say most dont!.!.!.but some doWww@FoodAQ@Com
No!.
Where I live, the drinking age is 18 and I think it should be raised to 19 or even 21!.
At 18, many people are still in high school so the use of alcohol spills over into younger people!.
At 18, many people are not mature enough to make responsible drinking decisions!.
As far as I'm concerned, the most dangerous chemical mixture is alcohol and testosterone!. Too many young men get all caught up in showing off to their friends by drinking and doing stupid things!. If they just killed themselves doing these stupid things, that would be bad enough!. However, they often take innocent people out with them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Kids shouldn't be using the old-enough-to-go-to-war-old-enough-to-dr!.!.!. argument!. It's ridiculous!.
Keep in mind that everyone in the armed services VOLUNTEERED to be there!. There hasn't been a draft since before all you kids were born!.
The age limit should stay the same!. Those caught drinking underage should have their drivers licenses suspended until they're twenty-one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There was a time in the US when some states had 18 as the legal drinking age!. The 18 year olds drinking really weren't the problem!. They were buying for all of their friends who were younger than 18!. Booze was finding its way down to junior high students!.
If a kid comes back from some place where we've sent him to get shot at, he's gonna want a beer or two, believe me!. Xinh loy pal, that round's on me, and there's nobody gonna card him either!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's a complicated question!. I'm not sure it's as simple as a yes or no!.
Although it has to be a yes or a no, when it comes down to it, because an answer is certainly needed!.
It's puzzling how a person could be considered, at 17, responsible enough to handle a gun in the armed forces!.
Possibly losing their own life, or the lives of many others!. Yet still not be allowed to pick up a drink because they are considered to young!
Yet, it takes so much maturity to handle a few tons of vehicle, like a car!.
And many people of any age can't seem to get that right!
And I'd hate to see alchohol complicate that situation for a 17 year old boy esp!., at the high adrenaline stage of life!.
So I'm just not sure!.
Sometimes both seem correct, sometimes neither one seems like the right answer!.
But, I'm gonna go with Yes!. Just my personal preference!.
If I had to come back from a furlough, from seeing my family, back to the war!?!.!.!.
I'd want a drink, too! Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes!.
reasons:
1!. because no one listens to the 21 to drink law anyways and all it does is drive kids into dangerous drinking environments!.
2!. If a person can die for their country, vote, get a mortgage, ect!. why cant they also drink!?
3!. The 21 to drink law makes alcohol such a forbidden fruit that as soon as a kid gets the chance they go out and get sh*t faced!.
4!. kids should be taught to drink at home in small quantities so that alcohol isnt such a mystery (it works in europe why cant it work here!?)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am not sure about doing it in the states!. The rest of the world seems to be able to handle it but even with the legal age at 21 a lot of young Americans can't behave themselves or know their limits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As long as there are so many irresponsible drinkers in their early 20s, NO!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i think it should be 18!.!.!. 21 is too long to wait!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i agree with ohsnap!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
