They shouldn't do either.

Gauge you competition and execute with precision.

At the age of 23, and having a fake at 20, I can say it isn't a horrible law. Turning 21 is almost like a rebirth that should be cherished, like becoming a freshman in high school or college. You are joining the ranks of real drinkers! Sure, you whine at 18,19, and 20 (as well as 14-17 bwahahaha), but it's worth the wait.

I hope she chokes to death.

It's legal at 18 here, or at 16 if you're drinking in a private residence with parental consent.

How about 18 year-old soldiers can drink legally then?


Some states they can.

For the people using the ," Well, 18 year olds are fighting in wars and are in the military" as a argument, please stop. You can't use that argument if you aren't those people, let the soldiers complain about it. I 100% believe that 18 year olds in the military should be able to drink.

How does that rule work if they're stationed in a country where you can drink at 18?

OT: No.
I haven't been overseas yet but I heard them talking about it. You're not allowed to buy or drink alcohol if you are under 21 on base, but if you go out in , let's say Germany, they'll let you buy alcohol.

But there should still be zero tollerance while driving till you are 21.
Drinking and driving together = Bad idea anyways.

Driving while intoxicated usually lands a person in jail. Even if they are 21.


Drinking while intoxicated. Uhm okay. Isn't that what you're meant to do?
I don't drink to get to get piss drunk. I drink for health. And I fix'd it.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

No, people find enough ways to be idiots without the involvement of alcohol before 21, let's not add another legal method.

  • 11.26.2012 9:58 PM PDT

That's all I have to say about that.

Definitely not. A 21 year-old is far more mature than an 18 year-old. I should know, because I've been both.

Some people debate that 18-year-olds can go to war, but not drink an alcoholic beverage.
Okay, by that logic, if you can pass through several months of rigorous training and certification, then you are welcome to drink alcohol.


Seems to me its more like, if you are old enough to use that training to kill people and responsible enough to operate machines worth millions of dollars, then you are welcome to drink alcohol.

True.

On the one side, personal responsability is important, on the other alchohol tempting, not to mention harmful and potentially addictive.

Key

Yes. But you need to have a high school diploma/GED, indicated on your Driver's License. Otherwise, you wait until your 21.

Yes. A legal age of 21 does nothing but cause legal problems for those wishing to have a good time, and are going to do so despite the actual drinking age.

You're an adult, you should be able to make adult decisions.

It's not as tempting as many think. I turned 21, drank my first drinks at a birthday, didn't drink for 2 months.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Only reason I started smoking was because I couldn't drink.

It's 18 in Australia, but it doesn't mean anything, people still drink underage anyway.
