What reason is there to lower the drinking
age? All that would do is increase the
number of stupid intoxicated people
walking the streets! Thats exactly what
we need around here!

Omg there is a law here that says you can
purchase the alcohol (only in some places
will they actually let you) at 18 but you
cant open it until you are 21..Isnt that
dumb???
Thats on out most dumbest law list...Lol

Most 18 and 19 year olds are most
certainly not mature enough to be
drinking. Matter of fact, a lot of 21
year olds cant even drink reponsibly.
There are a lot of issues that would arise
if the age limit for drinking was
lowered...But my main concern would be
driving.
If they lowered the age for drinking it
would only increase drunk driving
accidents greatly. .B.R.I.N.G. .O.N.
.T.H.E. .D.E.At.H.!!!!
18 year olds cant drive responsibly
sober...Much less drunk.
Thats just my
opinion.... |
yay for michelle!

I dont think there should be a age limit.
When I went to france there wasnt one and
people around my age didnt really care
about drink because its always there and
its not a big deal. Theres way to much
pressure about drinking and if it wasnt a
big deal I dont think people would
honestly over all do it as much . But
thats just my thought

You may think that I am crazy, but I think
that alcohol should be outlawed. How
many people die a year because of it?
(sorry and don't jump down my thorat about
it either, my brother and sister were
killed by my father 3 years ago because he
was drunk) I think pot should legalized.
How many violent drunks have you heard
of? How many violent pot heads have you
heard of? The government could make so
much money off of it, and we wouldn't have
drinking and driving to contend with. I
know that they wouldn't do it unless there
were some way to test immediatly on the
sence for pot in the blood stream (kinda
like a breathalizer for pot), and I
totally agree with that, that you
shouldn't be alowed to drive and be
stoned, but most pot heads would rather
eat and then fall asleep than have to
drive some where (just for you info, I am
not a pot smoker at all, I have tried it a
few times, but I have better things to do
with my life than do drugs) also, no they
should not lower the age for alcohol
buying, even people of older ages can't
seem to control themselves

i definitely agree with you there. Its a
shame that some people just can't handle
themselves on alcohol. I don't agree that
it should be outlawed altogether, but I
will admit there is no other solution.

Probably, but either way...I think some
people can have a joint or a drink, and
that is fine...If you can do taht stuff in
moderation, but a lot of people can't
handle that. I dont do drugs nor will I
ever...And I wouldnt mind having a drink
once in awhile..But oh well...Just my
opinion. It only takes one joint and one
drink to have a horrible addiction.

I think it's good that america has a
drinking age of 21-i've heard that it's
very hard to get into clubs if you're
under-age & they're strict on i.D.
Over here you have to be:
-18 to drink/purchase alcohol,
-18 to go to clubs-some are 21s though,
-16 to do the lottery,
-16 to have sex,
-16 to buy people
-17 to have a driving licence,
-18 to have anal sex!
-and now it's legal to have a certain
amount of cannabis on you as long as it's
for personal use & not to sell on
over here there are so many 'kids' in
clubs that legal people don't care to
go-who wants to dance with a bunch of
16year olds?! And i've seen so many
people throwing up,injuring themselves
& falling out of taxis because they're
drunk off their heads-it's so
unattractive! I think 21s a good age
because it's so much more mature than 18
& although not all 21 year olds may be
mature you can generally argue that
they'll be a lot more responsible with
their drinking then a teenager will be.Idk
that's just what I think
