I remember hearing somewhere that if you force someone not to do something for a while, then let them do it, they will do it a lot, and potentially cause more damage doing it than if they were allowed to do it at all times. Something like that.

They shouldn't make it legal for anyone over 16 as idiots are still out there. However they should allow parents to let their children drink if they want them too. That way there is less motive to disobey.

Actuall,y if the parents are present, it is okay for you to let your own kids drink a little. I'm nto sure if you're allowed to let them get drunk though.

My parents are always saying "you want a beer." I've never once been tempted to say yes.

Because they let you choose to, there is no "they said no, I have to do it!" or at least that's what people say. I too have no intention of drinking.

Police should just make murder legal because they know some people will do it anyways.

And rape! Don't forget rape...

Oh yes, you can't forget rape. Why not let people go round doing it for fun? Might not even be rape after a little while! It will just turn into surprise sex!

Ohyeah. Murder and underage drinking are the same..

That's doesn't make sense. It's not like that when you want to kill somebody you think "Hang on a sec! I'm not going to do it. Law and stuff". The same thing counts for the opposite. It's not like you start murdering people when it is legal.

Not all teenagers are going to start drinking if it becomes legal. The drunk/murder rate would just increase.

I recently went to Germany, where the drinking age is 16. At least for beer, I think it was 18 for spirits or something like that. My friends and I are from England where it's 18, so we were like "this is amazing we can just walk in a shop and buy beer", and probably got more drunk than we should have. But our German friends who we were staying with, never really get drunk because they're so used to being able to, that it's not a big deal.

No, not everyone likes beer...

Everything below 15 percent is 16+ so that's not just beer... The legal drinking age for everything above that percentage is 18. It is that way in many countries in the west of Europe.

Since when do the police create laws?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I'd be fine with 18. Not sure I'd agree with 16 though. It just seems like that'd cause more problems in highschools.

Let's just make it legal to have drugs like crack and meth to go along with that drinking!

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Where I live ( Holland) the drinking age is already 16, but a lot of kids start drinking when they are 12 or 13. :O

But at least they know the effects of alcohol before they can drive (18). After a year or so the fun is gone. Our schoolcamp last year (with most people being 16 or almost 16) was a little chaotic because of the drinking. This year it wasn't the case. There are usually only a few people that feel the need to get wasted.

Let's just make a happy median by making the drinking age 18.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Not everyone likes to drink. Besides that, it's not really a good idea to let people just learning how to drive drink. They might not all drink and drive, but think about how many irresponsible idots will.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I think it should be 18 because like you said the drunk driving would go way up if it were 16.

They should lower the drinking age, but not for this reason. As an American, I think we should adopt the British mindset and laws towards drinking.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

but seriously i think the drinking age shouldn't be 21 in the USA. its just a little ridiculous that you are considered an adult and still can't drink.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I say make it 18, but if your parents don't care too much, you should be able to drink at 16. Just not beer, that tastes like piss. To each his own, I guess.. O.o
