It was 16 in Spain in my teens, then they raised it to 18. 21 to drink always sounded ridiculous to me

Nah cause kids are pretty irresponsible as it is, don't need to make booze even easier to obtain for them.

yes in stores, leave it at 21 in bars.
if you're old enough to risk dying for our country, you should at least be able to have a beer when you make it back.

It doesn't really stop kids from obtaining it. I guess the problem would be the initial swarm of drunk teenagers when it becomes legal. If I'm remembering correctly, I think that the US tried this before and the result was many more people dying by DUI. I haven't fact checked that, just what I heard in high school

I'd rather not have 18 year olds drinking in the same bar as I am. Let them purchase alcohol at 18 from stores but keep bar/restaurant drinking at 21.

Remember, kids: violence is good; everything pleasurable is bad.

Why? How old are you? If you think there's a huge difference in maturity between 18 and 21 year olds, you're probably 21.Originally Posted by DCutch

20 year old men going to court for drinking a beer

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."
The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

When my mom turned 18 they lowered the drinking age to 18. 3 years later when she was 21 they changed it back to 21. If they did it before and it didn't work no way they are going to do it again.

No. And the common "if you can serve your country at 18, you should be able to drink" comment is stupid. Horrible comparison.
I used to drink at 17,18, 19 and so on. Looking back I was an idiot. Drinking and driving. Not knowing my limit. Dumb decisions.
People under 21 are going to get their hands on alcohol anyways, but at least it will be less percent than if the legal age is 18.

How can America claim they have so much freedom when they have to wait until they are 21 to drink?

Totally agree drinking age should be 18 and driving age should be 18 as well.
I also think that age thing should simply be for who can purchase booze, if a parent wants to allow their kid of any age to drink under their supervision let them. It would seriously cut down on the number of moron kids who abuse it because its taboo.

Here in New Zealand drinking age is 18. Seriously its easy enough to get someone overage to buy it for you. The binge drinking culture in new zealand is notorious. I don't hear of it as being as big a problem in the U.S and most americans I know enjoy just a few drinks instead of getting blind drunk like the average new zealander.
Not saying the age restrictions are responsible for this but american culture sure has a better approach to alcohol consumption than us kiwis27/3/2019

Doesn't matter. It's cooler to do it when it's illegal.

I don't think it should be. Think how easy it is for the underaged to get alcohol while the law is 21, 18 year olds in high school would be having their own businesses selling and there would be so many more accidents out there.
