Answers:
I agree completely!. If you can die for your country, why can't you drink!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, it's because supposedly your brain doesn't full develop until you're 21, but that it's different for everybody!. If you drink in moderation though, like a glass of wine a day a day it doesn't do harm (in Europe kids drink a glass of wine every day for dinner, with their family)!. It's pretty retarded, 18 year olds are still drink anyways if they really want to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because I can honestly say that anyone between 18-20 is not responsible enough!. And just because you can join the army doesnt mean you should be treated special, if so then people that work in banks and gas stations should be able to drink too because they have a chance of being killed tooWww@FoodAQ@Com

I agree!. We are one of the very few countries that has the 21 year old age limit!. Most others are 18, 16, and even younger!. I think that once you are a legal adult (18!), able to fight for your country, able to marry, able to live on your own, then you should be able to drink! Besides, 80% of high shcool aged kids have tried alcohol (I'm not saying that 14 year olds should go out and drink, but how many Americans really make it until they are 21 without a drink!?) Anyway, all you have to do is get someone older to buy it for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yep, you can be charged as an adult in court @ 18 but not drink, you can go overseas and die for your country but not drink!. lawmakers & the lobbyists for MADD may have something to do with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

18 year olds are horribly immature when it comes to drinking!. However, I do see that there should be an exception to active military!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

drinking causes damage to the brain, which is even worse when your brain is still development!. I guess the government feels that at 18 people are still developing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because your brain does not finish developing until you're 21, therefore, the legal drinking age in the US is 21!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

because it's for people here that need the age raised because of the teenage deaths related to car accidents in relation to alcoholWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's 18 here (Ireland) =] totally agree it should be changed in the US too!. 21 is ridiculous!Www@FoodAQ@Com

the reason i love my country, legal drinking age 18!. legal age to get into a club 18!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

would it change anything really!?
anyone who wants to drink, drinks!.

just the idiots happen to get caught and arrestedWww@FoodAQ@Com

It is bullshit, but we can't do a whole lot about it!. Tell him to be careful if he drinks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's silly, but it is just the law!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
