Are you for lowering the Drinking age in the United States of America to 18, or do you want to leave it at 21?

Gonna have to agree with you on that one. I'm 16 and there's some wine less than 10 feet away from me. I really doubt my mom would be upset if I drank some too lol.

It's too much of a threat to the innocent to lower the drinking age.

who cares about the law nowadays anyway ? Everybody starts at 13+ and Quit drinking cuz of pot before the age of 21.

If you really want alcohol, then your age is really irrelevant. The age limit used to be at 18, but that didn't work out I guess. Either way, everyone should find and read the studies on how people react if they are given alcohol from their parents in moderation.

Once 18, an American citizen gains every right an adult can hold. We can marry, we can join the army, hell we even have legal rights to smoke, yet we still can't drink. So is America telling us that it's alright to marry at juvenile ages and increase divorce rates nationwide due to rushed marriages, die for our country while in service in the military, and kill ourselves slowly by smoking, but not be able to have a beer? That's crap. I say America either gives us the full benefits of an American citizen at the age of 18, or simply raise everything to 21.
