I'm in England right now and the legal age is 18. I think that's about right. What do you think?

Legal drinking age for 40% alcohols is...-drumroll- 50. That's when it's suitable to die drunk.

my feeling is that if you really want to drink, then you are doing it anyway, and the penalties for getting ccaught arent harsh, so why even care what the legal age is?
(btw: I dont drink) |

i think it should be 18.. if ur old enough to vote and to fight in a war [for the US anyway] then ur old enough to handle the responsibility... But, no matter what the legal age is, if someone younger wanted it they could still get it there are lots of ways that kids get alcohol

I dont really know what to say.
It depends. Would you get drunk? If so...I would say no for 16. But if it was just like a little and not to much i'd probably go with 18. I just put 20 thought because it just depends to me... |

i think 18 is an average to be drinkin. bein from britain and bein legal as i am now i find it wicked that i can drink. i'm no alcoholic i haven't drunk much since like new years [keepin the weight off] but i dunno whether it's a case of a legal age cos some idiots out there shouldn't be allowed to drink period.

i believe that 18 is too young of an age. 21 seems about right. 3 years as an adult, then you can poison your body or whatever you want to do.

ahhhh old topics are cool.
i think the legal drinking age should be 18. you can smoke at 18. most people will probably drink by that age anyway. |

 none of it seems real Group: Member Posts: 2,469 Joined: Dec 2004 Member No: 73,889 |
18. I think it's ridiculous that you are legal to do whatever you please except consume or purchase alcohol. Like someone said.. If you can go to war.. you should be able to drink a damn beer.

It truly doesn't matter the age anymore because people waaay below 21 drink anyways. I think 21 is all good but my middle school was full of drunken and high pre-teens having sex.
