Beer! Whisky! Vodka! Wine!, Drinking Age Options

[31miracles]

Should the United States get rid of their drinking age limit like many other countries?

I believe the United States should get rid of the drinking age.
It is actually safer not to have a drinking age. When many people in the U.S. reach the drinking limit, they celebrate by getting dangerously wasted. Countries like France do not have such a big drinking problem like the U.S. because they have no drinking age. Not having a drinking age will allow children to drink. If it's legal to drink, young people will become more mature. They won't have the joy of being a badass drinking underage. In China, almost everyone drinks, and there are a few accidents.

The drinking age in America cause hundred of thousands of people, celebrating being old enough to drink, getting rushed to emergency rooms every year.

^ im sorry, but i am responsible for my own actions. to suggest that my mistakes are my parent's problem alone is silly. and remarkably naive.

Oh please, if you say a teen can take more responsible actions than an adult, you're dead wrong. (I'm not saying that's always the case, but it's pretty much true)

And sure, kids at that age do understand the "dangers" of drinking, but does that mean that many care? No.

my point was that they can take AS responsible actions as many adults do. there is no magical door which means you are suddenly 'responsible' at twenty one, as opposed to 16.

and your right. most teens i know DONT care about alcohol poisoning or rape, or being killed or killing while drunk driving. my bad.

I'm not saying there aren't exceptions.. of course there are. But you've got to admit that there's a greater chance of a 21-year-old being more sensible than a 15/16-year-old.

And of course everyone cares about "alcohol poisoning or rape, or being killed or killing while drunk driving." But most people think "Nah, it won't happen to me", and drink anyway. That's what I meant by not caring :) Truth is, it does happen.. and you never know.
