| spill_no_sick Falling In Love With The Board Age: 30 Gender: - Posts: 8588 | littlelessthansuicide:well it's really impossible to define this country other than "great", we all see it different, I see it on the last country to not give up on justice, you see it as its inhabitants |
| *-StiLL heRe waiTiNG-* Jackass Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1005 | I don't think that the drinking age, 18 or 21, really matters. Even now with the drinking age being 21, you still have 16-20 year olds drinking and driving, and there are still those people that cant even drive yet and are drinking. No matter what the drinking age is, you're always going to have all the underage drinking. I think that it should stay 21, becuase if it were 18, you're just putting even more irresponsible drivers out there. My dad was 20 something and was killed in a drunk driving accident, and the driver and him weren't underage. With lowering the drinking age, your going to be having even more accidents on top of the ones that are casused by older drinkers. |

Jackass Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1986 | well in England it's legal to drink alcohol in your own home at the age of 5 you can have a cider in a pub with a meal at the age of 14 to buy alcohol you have to be 18 I think it should be 16 not 18, but I think the 2 other parts to the law are about right |
| NeoSteph Basket Case  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 16494   | i'm not 18 and i drink, no one i know waited for to be 18 before they drank. The reason it is so high is to try and stop kids drinking, no matter what you say it works. drinking age = 18, kids will drink at 15. But if drinking age was 16, kids would drink at 12. The reason for it being 21 in the states is i believe to try and stop teenage drink driving. when you young you still haven't mastered driving so even if you under the legal limit for drink driving you would still be affected by acohol. |
| NeoSteph Basket Case Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 16494 | destiny_is_dead: that's changed now. In a pub you have to be 16, with an adult and having you drink with a meal. under no circumstance can you have an alcopop. |
| Gillian King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: - Posts: 4374 | I think, if "they" think you're responsible enough to get married and have sex, you should be responsible enough to drink alcohol. 16 is a good age for everything. If your parents let you have a little to drink every so often when you're younger, you get used to drink and it doesn't become a big thing. Therefore you learn to take some only when you want it, and not overindulge. |
| zdf_jammin Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 432 | how about this, i agree with the liscensing of acholhol, but itd be the same, you just get someone whos liscensed to buy you a pack. one buddy in your group gets it, the guys give him the money, and he gets beer for everyone. FAULT. beer is bad, but i think its ok to drink it on special occasions. |

| ace. Idiot Age: - Gender: - Posts: 764 | Furi: "The United States of America—also referred to as the United States, the USA, the US, America, the States (colloquially), and Columbia (poetically)—is a democratic, federal republic of 50 states." - en.wikipedia.org DEMOCRATIC federal republic, which means the majority of decisions are made by the citizens. federal republic simply means that there are self-governing states, who do not, in the end, have ultimate power. look it up. |

God he's even more boring that Paul Martin himself. And that's saying something. And it's not like we Canadians are disrespecting our country anyways. Lord knows that we've been through enough that we can't be disrespected anymore. |
| WriteMeOff Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 261 | Wow, snappy. If its not a Republic my Social Studies teacher needs to go back to college........which I find slightly disturbing.... |
| ace. Idiot Age: - Gender: - Posts: 764 | Furi: perhaps your teacher just forgot to say "democratic federal republic" |
| In Between Dreams Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 67 | Do you people have any idea how many accidents and deaths are caused by DUI? How many deaths that have happened by binge drinking? I know that there are a lot of mature people out there who know how to handle alcohol, and its sad how a bunch of idiots have to spoil it for all of us. But lowering the age will make it all worse. |
| zdf_jammin Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 432 | In Between Dreams: alcohol is horrible, period. but its one of those things you should be able to have for celebration, like a cigar. |
| HappilySuicidal Geek Age: 38 Gender: Female Posts: 161 | i dont think it matters that you body is not mature enough for alcohol and i think 21 is rediculouce if they trust you with a vote and the fucher of your country how can they not trust you with alcohol and your own fucher(soz bout the spelling). if you are classed as an adult at 18 you should not have any restrictions on your actions. you are old enough to make mistakes and take the consiquenses if thats only a hangover or a night you dont remeber and waking up in hospital. |
