I would just like to bitch and get your guys'personal opinions on the drinking age in the U.S. Personally i think its bullshit that I can go to war for my country, vote, smoke, and be considered an adult when i can't even leagally go purchase some booz! Making it 21 did little to stop alcohol consumption. In fact all it did was give our govt. a new way to generate revenue from tickets. I live in Wisconsin right now and i like the fact that i can legally drink w/ my parents but cmon' this law is crap. I wish i could do something besides bitch about it. I just feel that i have the right to drink legally at 18. What do u guys think?

Since I'm 21, the drinking age is fine as it is. Thats the last thing I want a bunch of 18 year old's in the bars. Let kids get more mature and its not like drinking or getting alchohol underage is that big of a deal anyways. ----, I sell beer at a 30% markup to all you little minors.

The drinking age of the U.S. is not entirely based off alcohol consumption and/or responsibility. There is a part of our brain that does not fully develope until 21 years of age. Drinking before that age can hinder the development of that part of the brain. Also, someone who begins drinking substantially before the age of 21, can develope alcoholism in as little as 6 months, apposed to a person who starts drinking after the age of 21, it can take up to 15 years to develope alcoholism. *shrug* Just my two cents I learned in the OLCC class. Five hours of learning on nothin but alcohol.

I know you would stay out of my bar cause I would be embarrased too if my mom was my mom up on that pole dancing. With all the backroom action I think she has your college career paid for.

I call BS on that study, ---- it doesn't take 15 months to become an alcoholic some people have that gene no matter what. I don't think drinking before the magic number of 21 is going to suddenly trigger that. Truth is we have a big drinking problem in the U.S., but look at other countries that have much lower drinking ages. They have few problems with it because its just part of everyday life, just not a big deal anymore. the fact that i'm not supposed to do it makes it that much more fun.I would be all for something like a drinking license in the U.S. something to weed out the idiots.
