If you can serve and fight for your country, you should be able to come home and have a beer.


You guys decide

21 and 18 most people don't change over that amount of time anyway sooo... why not 18. you can smoke at 18, serve in military at 18, and vote at 18.

well in ireland the age is 18, and thatsgrand, no commotion over it, and in spain and portugal its 17 and you dont even need id.
so yeh if it was on the table id recommend it as when your 18 your basically an adult and most are responsible

I can pretty much go out and get ****ed whenever I want in the UK, no-one gives a shit in pubs or off-licenses where I live. I'm JUST 17 aswell.

I swear the drinking age in Germany is like 16 or something... some country idk.

Kids will always find a way of getting alcohol, it's not going to make a difference.

Its already 18 in England I believe, I never had trouble getting hold of alcohol.

Making something illegal make people want it more because the fact that they think they're "cool" for doing it. I live in England and I'm 18. I can get beer when I want but I don't. I don't get 'hammered' every time I go to clubs with my mates. I've been around beer for a while. I was aloud to have some when I was like 13/14 on occasion. They all added up and now I don't see a big deal in drinking. If you can't have it you want it more. It's like weed. That's an illegal drug and look how many people have it to look "cool" or whatever. If it were legal do you think so many people would go mad over it? Probably not. In my opinion, if you are allowed to have a moderate drink when you are say 11 (like wine or a beer with a meal, but not over doing it) I don't think that there would be as much binge drinking as there is now. You would get used to it over time and not see the big deal with it. As soon as people who haven't been exposed to it in their youth are able to buy it, it's like a new craze and they go mad with it. So if anything, I would say lower the age to 18 to buy it (for the countries who need to be older) but be able to drink it in restaurants and pubs with food at like 11 but only have a moderate amount. I could guarantee that in about 5 years or so that would cut binge drinking. It seems to work in countries with lower age limits and countries where you can have it with a meal at a young age.

Yes I believe they should change it, because if you can die for your country at 18, you should be able to have a few beers with your buddies. In reality I understand that allot of people that age cant handle themselves, so it'll never change.

You could also kill someone with a glass coke bottle.


I agree make it 18.
