Can we all agree the legal age for drinking in America is stupid?

It's 21 if you don't know.

Back in the 70's they lowered it to 18. The results were disastrous, many alcohol related deaths etc. They raised it back to 21, they had too.

Did the accidents with kids 18 to 21, go down? Just wondering

@boldtimer: Yes, which is why lowering again has not been considered. Statistics are sited.

@curiosi: cool. It still bothers me that a man or woman can join to fight wars and put their life up for the country, should be able to drink.

@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.

@curiosi: I knew guys that did that. But they still fight our battles. They deserve alot more respect and responsibility
