I don't know where I stand on this. Part of me agrees with the mentality that if they can vote and fight for their country then they should also be able to drink. But at the same time, I feel that it would encourage even more young drinkers to drink - which is kind of scary. Then again, the misanthrope/heel CM Punk in me says that perhaps it would be better to do away with the legal age concept altogether. If someone wants to drink and potentially ruin their lives, go for it. |

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!

Sorry Peck, but that sounded pretty funny... Actually, I always found the idea of being able to drink at the age of 21 pretty stupid. But I do see Kraul's point, though. |

I'm in favor of lowering the drinking age. I think it would easily solve more problems than it would create. Unless I'm mistaken, all other countries have younger drinking restrictions than the US and all of those countries have less alcohol related accidents/crimes. I'm not suggesting lowering the drinking age will solve all problems, that's just foolish. But I do think that it'll help a lot more than it would hurt. |

Legal Drinking Age Worldwide I don't think it will affect the USA that much by lowering their age for being able to drink alcohol. |

I say that no teen should be able to drink before leaving High School. They're going to anyway, but if they're allowed to drink, how do you think it makes fellow classmates and teachers feel if someone comes in with a hangover or something? It's bad enough already, but if they're actually allowed to drink, most will go hog wild with it. At least when they do it illegally, they don't have the weight to shove it in people's faces without getting in trouble. |

A student could get into trouble for coming to school in such a state. If I were to go to work with a hangover or whatever, then my boss is not just going to excuse it and give me leeway that night. She's going to ride my ass for coming into work like that and then probably write me up if I am unable to do my job because of my condition. The same could be applied to school matters. If the student comes to class in an altered stated, then he/she should be held accountable. Of course, I once again state that lowering the drinking age would most likely solve more problems than it would cause. One of the biggest reasons why younger people drink is because they are not suppose to (there's other reasons, I know). If you tell them it is ok, then you take away that particular appeal. If they can get the alcohol themselves, then they are less likely to go somewhere just because "there's beer". |

BURN IT DOOOWWNNNNNNNN!

I really don't care about this, since I have no desire to drink at all. And it's been said that kids are going to drink anyway and that if they're old enough to go to war, why not be old enough to drink. |

The drinking age should absolutely be 18. Most people start drinking when they are 15-16 anyways so the law really means nothing. Kids already come into class with hangovers and come to class drunk so I doubt it would be much different. Hell I drank much more when I was ages 16-18 than I do now! |

If you're old enough to smoke, vote, drive, and go to war at age 18, I see no problem with being able to drink at 18. |

agreed, Lionheart! at 18, people can legally vote. at 18, you can legally smoke. you can join the military, go to war & die at 18. many states allow you to drive at 16! many teenagers get adult punishments, if convicted of certain crimes. if all of this can happen to peopl at 18 or younger, why stop them from drinking? you're either an adult under the eyes of the law or you're not. if not......then take away their right to smoke, vote, drive, hold a job, military service and everything else that makes them adults. |

Holy Crap! I looked at romania's worldwide Drinking Age and it had no MINIMUM! I lol'd and the purchase age is 18.... Sale of all distilled spirits is illegal for those under 18. Advertising distilled alcohol is forbidden during the day (between 5:00 and 22:00). All restrictions apply on sale and distribution to underage persons, not consumption. lol anyways I think 21 is a reasonable age....I mean, it would be really scary to see seniors in high school drinking hard liquor...but hey, I knew people that drank freshman year... |

I'm what Willis was talkin' 'bout.

Lionheart took the words right out of my mouth. In Wisconsin, you can actually be locked up in a federal penatentery(?) for certain crimes at 17 years of age cause you're considered an adult, and yet, you really have none of the other adult privelages. I agree 100% with what you said, Lionheart, but don't forget Porn. Once 18, you can also be scandalized by porn, but you still can't take a drink. |

In my country I can drink as much as I want when Im 18. But thing is i dont drink right now so it does not matter. Alcohol can be sucha bitch sometimes. Has more negative effects than postive so know dont lower drinking age in US. |
