Haha not my problem!

Seriously though, 21? And they call the UK the nanny state...

Unfortunately our government likes to listen to menopausal soccer moms a lot.

HILLARY 2016

Don't even say that ironically dude. Someone might see it and think it's a good idea.

You and I both know it's going to happen no matter what we do.

I don't want to acknowledge that.

Republicans are going to win in 2016.

There's a huge split in the Democratic party.

Is it as big a thing as the tea party was at first?

Can you imagine how terrible it would be to go to a bar only to run into a bunch of high school kids?

Fuck that.

I don't see a problem there. I mean, I keep getting older but high school kids just stay the same age.

18 is a good limit.

Republicans are not going to get elected guys. You would have to be total dumbshits to vote fascists in, and like to think the American public is smarter than that.

Unfortunately Hilary sucks too.

Republicans are fascists?
LOLOLOLOLOL

There shouldn't be a drinking age.

But, for practical purposes, I say that 18 should be the minimum age to purchase alcohol.  You can't really enforce the drinking age unless you smack the drink out of a kid's hand, and at that point no crime was being committed.

I don't particularly see a reason why the government should regulate at what age its citizens can drink alcohol, but if I had to give an age I'd say 16 for drinking in public restaurants.

18.


Regardless of the law, people waaaay under will drink anyway. I'd be surprised if someone's first drink was when they were legally allowed to.

21, most aren't responsible enough to limit themselves.

I feel that imposing reasonable limits on the access young and hormonal teens at the height of their puberty have to a substance that will not only turn them loud and obnoxious and will render their already poor judgment, reasoning skills and sense of responsibility even worse than normal, but has also been proven to have nefarious effects on the development of a young and not yet fully formed brain, is a pretty good reason to regulate a drinking age.

It's pretty demonstrable that allowing teenagers to learn about alcohol at a younger age and understand its effects does significantly more to prevent issues involving intoxication. It's kind of like what happens when you turn 21 and alcohol loses the excitement; it's just a drink that can mess you up if you let it. We mythologize alcohol and put it on such a high pedestal that the only logical expectation is for kids to be absolutely irresponsible with it as soon as they get access.

If you can serve, drive or get married then you can have a fucking drink.
