I would like to know what you all think the legal drinking age should be. Personally, I think it should be 18. If the government thinks you're old enough and mature enough to smoke cigarettes, get married, have sex and have children, then how can they not think you're old and mature enough to drink alcohol? It doesn't make any sense to me. It used to be 18 and I'm not entirely sure why they raised it. If they're that adamant about keeping it at 21, then I think they should raise the age at which you can smoke, get married, have sex and have kids to 21. I just think it should all be at the same time. It doesn't make sense for drinking to be the last thing you can do, 3 years after you can get married and have kids. So tell me what you think.


resonable but you have 1 fact wrong. The government does not care when u have sex and have kids but anyways i think the drinking age is fine where it is. Why let people start forming the horible habit of obsesive drinking when the could use the xtra time they would waste drinking in school or sumthink alot more usefull and helthy?

actually a law WAS passed that having sex IS illegal until you're 18. here anyway. so no the fact wasn't wrong thank you.

I just think you should be aloud[sp] to drive before you can drink.
Otherwise people will be all drunk and when they start driving they'll be running into things and all.

I'm not bothered about drinking age to be honest. Drink when you feel like it.

I do not drink, but not because parents tell me not to. It's just not something i think i would enjoy. It's much more fun to be the only sober one in a room. Drunk people are fun to confuse lol

all you kids keep saying is that the drinking age isn't going to stop curious teens from drinking. we all already know that. i think the main issue with the drinking age is the driving under the influence. most people when they start drinking are too young to be driving anyway right? the other thing is the damage that it can do to your body. no one seems to care about that. the drinking age is 21 because it's at that age that your body has fully developed and can handle the alcohol better. it's still not good for you.. but at least it won't do as much damage at at that age..

this is my opinion.. if the us dropped the drinking age to say.. 16 and put up the driving age to say.. 18 kids will have 2 years of getting to know and understand alcohol and how to drink responsibly and then after 2 years can get behind the wheel. they will have the experiace of getting to know how much alcohol they can handle,

because most kids..

turn 16 get drivers licence
turn 21 get shitfaced and get in their cars.
