im in uk and people who are 13 get round like towns and cities in pubs and clubs and im guessing loads under the age of 21 go out round clubs in namerica haha ...

I think 16 is a bit too young. I'm all for revising the drinking age, but your livers aren't fully developed until about 14 years old. And obviously if it was lowered to 18, all the 18 year olds would jump right on that and go out and buy a ton of booze. But if they put a limit on how much an 18 year old could buy at once, or tax it a lot like you said, then it might lower the chance of a spike in drunk driving and other alcohol related deaths. Then, after all the excitement dies down from the change, they will see a big change in how many 18 year olds don't die at college parties or at their own homes in their basements from alcohol poisoning. Instead, they will all be at the bars, and under supervision.

And at these bars, they could limit 18 year olds to a certain amount of beers to prevent drunk driving. Which will solve most of the drunk driving problem for this change. The only possibility would be for 18 year olds to buy a ton of alcohol and drink at their friends' houses and drive home. But 18 year olds already do that even though it's illegal.

I understand.. Thanks for opening my eyes

The only reason I called you ignorant was because for those of us who actually do drink in moderation, it IS healthy. And you assumed that I was young and giving in to peer pressure to drink just to be cool. And now I see where you're coming from though, and I apologize for calling you ignorant. But in reality, the drinking age being 21 isn't stopped anyone under 21 from drinking, it's just forcing them to drink behind closed doors and in the dark. If the drinking age was 18, I think a lot of people would go out and drink at bars where it is much more regulated and supervised.

Yeah fair enough, I made a bit of a leap of an assumption there. But still, where are you from? Here in the UK so many people binge drink, it's a serious problem. Wish alcohol was banned for those that didn't know how to moderate their intake themselves... (I could go on and on, but alcohol is such a burden on society when idiots drink it, i.e. not people like you who drink in moderation, but you are rare unfortunately lol)
