Can we all agree the legal age for drinking in America is stupid?
It's 21 if you don't know.

Yeah. I understand that there's greater risks with letting younger people drink, but in that case the drinking age should be 30. After a certain point you realize there's a question of rights.
18 or 19 is what we have in Canada and it works fine. If you can vote, drive, own a gun, star in porn, and smoke, you should be able to drink.

I would somewhat agree with you on that--mainly because I feel like it being 21 inadvertently promotes binge drinking.😑 But I feel like the culture in the US surrounding drinking alcohol should also change as well.. Like in Europe it seems like they grow up with it more as a normal part of life and family and community and meals, etc. I think 16 is too young, but 18 with different socialization I would agree with.

I don't agree with that, it would be different if our culture wasn't oh it's taboo as long as you don't get caught. And then when you hit 21 getting smashed out of your mind all the time = successful young person.
It would be better if we taught people safe ways to drink before we gave them the go ahead. Then I don't mind lowering the drinking age.

@boldtimer: True, many join the military because they don't know what to do after high school. My ex was in the army he said most were there because they wanted to just get away.

You can. You can even serve alcohol at 19, even though you can't drink it for two more years.

@Byeimoff Heck, in some US states you can get married at 14, or younger if it's a cousin.

Srsly? Why?

As if anyone pays attention to that. I never had a problem buying beer, wine, or booze when I was a teenager.

Blame MADD.

Yeah, how dare people be against something that kills thousands of innocent people every year. How dare they.

I'm not supporting drunk driving. However, MADD has gone really, really off mission from fighting drunk driving to fighting underage drinking. They're the ones that lobbied for the raising of the drinking age.
