@arideout121 In Canada the drinking age is set by the provincial not federal government in the provinces of Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba the drinking age is 18 and in the rest of the provinces + territories it is 19 so the drinking age in Canada is 18 or 19 depending on geographical location
The problem is that how can teenagers and younger adults be trusted to drink alcohol at 18? If they can't even handle 21, that doesn't show very good self-restraint or responsibility. And even here in California, with probably the most complex driving instruction and licensing process in the U.S. the legal drinking age of 21 doesn't stop the average 16 year old from drinking and driving and getting into a possibly fatal wreck.
@UTubeLightBulb Look at the world statics for DUI deaths. The US has 14.5 deaths per 100.000 people. Countries with 18 or 19 year old drinking ages Australia - 8, Canada - 9, UK - 5.5, New Zealand - 9. This alone proves that your country either has shocking driving instructors or binge drinking is a real problem. Due to the legal drinking age being well into adulthood. There is a reason being an adult happens at eighteen and not twenty it gives teens two years of responsibility
I don't drink.. haha so I guess it doesn't really affect me. I dunno I don't really feel the need to and it's not like it's good for your health so.. yeah. Drinking age is 21 where I live but I definitely see where your coming from.
18 here in the UK, but anyone above about the age of 14 can legally drink with a meal. The majority of people I know who aren't responsible when drinking are around the age of 16 and are either stupid or are just going through teenage rebellion. I've been encouraged to have a glass of wine with a meal every now and then for years and it just seems normal to have a glass and not be stupid with the amount I drink... Personally I'd prefer the idiots of the world drinking then owning a gun too.
I live in Australia and the drinking age is eighteen, yet we have terrible binge and underage drinking statistics
Really I think it's not the drinking age so much as society's mentality towards alcohol in general
Which is impacted on by the drinking age in a small way, but more substantially by the media and really popular opinion which, at least here, is that alcohol is fun and social
In Canada, its 18. But personally I like the idea of people a an even lower age, while deffinitely with their parents, under parental supervision, should be allowed to drink. Only at 18, should they be able to drink without supervision
I am 16 years old. At various family occasions, my family members give me several alcoholic beverages, because they know they can trust me to drink responsibly. The thought of being wasted is utterly repulsive to me, and I still do not understand why people insist on destroying their good party experiences. Not all underage drinkers are irresponsible, and I definitely support Dan's point.
i live in the uk and the drinking age is 18 but i had a bit of champagne when i was 1 year old because my Nona is Italian i think that we should teach every one about enjoying wines and fine spirits with food instead of getting pissed its ridiculous that you are legally counted as an adult but you don't have all the privalages and freedoms until you are 21.
I like the way it was done when I was a teen in Louisianan. The drinking age was 18 in bars but to buy from a liquor store or something it was 21. That way you were in a somewhat controlled environment and less likely to end up drinking and driving and such.
@Shnimberz I don't really think it's necessary to have a "way" or "technique" to avoid alcohol, if you don't want to drink then you don't. Of course it can be a bit strange to be sober around a bunch of drunk friends, but I have never experienced being mocked for not drinking. On the contrary. In general I think people often exaggerate about group pressure, when it comes to alcohol. But if it does happen, the worst reason to start drinking is because you feel pressured to do it.
I'm 19 and I have never really drank anything. Eventually I will be able to drink but I actually don't ever want to drink at all. I just feel like alcohol kind of clouds the mind, I know myself, I don't have that much self discipline, and I know things might get out of hand. A problem I'll have in the future is figuring out how I can avoid drinking without being mocked. Do girls like guys who don't drink, I don't mean to force it on others, is there a way to avoid alcohol in a social activity?
18 year old can get GUNS, get pilot license, and join the military(WHICH IS A LOT OF RESPONSABILTY) and VOTING IS A HUGE RESPONSABILITY! ! and they worry about BEER... not great.. ALCOHOL is all over now and ppl drink all over, i believe this is age discrimination and yet this is sad..
I was in Italy for a month over the summer, and I only saw two or three Italian drunks over the whole time span. That is compared to the 100 + drunk American college kids I saw every weekend. The bottom line is, wherever drinking is acceptable behavior, there will be substantially less abuse. I think that the government is stupid for not realizing that by now.
I drank for the first time when I was fourteen. It was half a glass of champagne at their anniversary dinner. My parents always taught us how to drink properly. If we drink, we stay with them all night. We may also have ONE drink.
I think that the age should be lowered. I know that much of the reason people want it to stay at 21 is to keep it out of schools, but why not lower it to 19 then.
Then anyone who is drinking is out of high school.
i think that they could keep the drinking age at 21, but if you are charged with a drinking related crime between the ages of 18 and 21, you get tried as a minor
I will be 22 yrs old in Dec. and me being very rare, I actually never gave a shit about alcohol from the time I was a child to now...I simply have never been interested in alcohol. When I turned 21, it really was just another birthday. However, it saddens me to know that my 17 and 19 yr old sisters have already thrown up and passed out because of their unhealthy obsession with alcohol. I feel that parents should give small amounts of alcohol to their adolescents to develop responsibility early.
Pretty much every kid that wants to drink does anyway, so it really doesn't matter what the age is. I'm pretty sure they biggest reason they say the age is there is because your body is still developing at 18 and you can damage stuff by drinking. Who knows if that's true, I don't know but I haven't drank beyond tasting some stuff.
For some reason it buffers throughout the video except in the outro. Then back again in the revision 3 thing in the end. It happens in all of your videos.
But then there's the age where you become an adult. In the state that I live, while you get the right to vote at eighteen, you don't reach the age of majority/"become an adult" until nineteen. My father, who runs a poll, has to call the parents of interviewees who are 18 in order to interview the 18 year olds legally.
Additionally, some college students where I live, can buy/rent an apartment, but not be legally bound by the contract when they're 18.
@EowynAhsokaLover so um if they rent an apartment they can like trash the place blast music have parties have as many people over as they want with no repercussions? cool
I'm from Norway, where the legal drinking age is 18. People still drink themselves completely wasted every weekend, and they usually start at the age of 15/16. I've never had a single drop of alcohol (and I'm 20) and I don't know ANYONE, not a single person besides me, who is not drinking. I think people are just going to drink the same amount of alcohol no matter what the legal age is...
There might be huge differences between America and Europe, though. People in Norway drink a lot.
The problem i see with lowering the drinking age is that people have proven then cannot be responsible in the questioned situation, so why should we now make it legal for them to be irresponsible? The problem isnt the law, it's the fact that parents aren't raising their children. If parents let their children drink in private at a lower age and encourage responsible habits then they wont be temped to do things like binge drinking. This is a parenting fail not a problem with the laws
It's 19 here in Canada. I'm 18 and I still don't really care about drinking. None of my friends seem to mind that the legal age is 19 despite being considered an adult at 18.
It's not just responsibility and trust though. There have been scientific tests that shows your brain isn't mature enough to handle the consumption of alcohol. The age is set so that there is no effects to your development.
@EjvindDark Well, I'm not in the UK, I'm in America. And here it's 21. So obviously, I'm not talking about the UK government. And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know if it changed anything in your development...you would have to undergo many test to even prove that it has. So, you're just saying it doesn't affect anything just for the sake of arguing.
we were just talking about this yesterday...when they changed the age to 21 that year the deaths by Drinking and Driving accidents wen't down by 10,000 lives
it just so happends that in the Netherlands, where i live, consuming alcohol is legal from the age of 16. I talk from experience when I say that almost none of the positive speculations you make about what will happen when drinking age is reduced are righteous! I have read the links in the doobelydoo, but Dan, are you not always the sceptic? If ever important critical thinking should excite you to read reasearches that oppose your hypothesis! Lemme know what you think :)
continuing that i believe that kids are going to say like "sweet i can drink now"
and there for get wasted because they have no means of how it effects them and i throw that blame to the parents or the people around them when they consume it. i have heard stories about this happening and the first time i partook in having alcohol.
So I watched your video Dan, then I scrolled on down to the comments and the first thing that came to my mind was that.
In Alaska if you were too join the armed forces, you'd get the privilege to drink if you were 18 years of age.
Now this subject affects me as I am 18, and my thoughts, and experiences are that alcohol is a.o.k (in small quantities) and I agree with what your saying .
But I also have a problem with it, in that if the drinking age was lower parents need to educate kids out of spa
Here's my position on drinking in the US, it should be 18 and not just for all the reasons you stated but because you can join the military at 18. That's telling people 18-20 you're old enough to die for your country, but not to have a beer, a person for the current drinking age could retort, well then we'll raise that age to 21, no you can't, there's more reasons behind that but I'm short on space, there's no moral way to keep the drinking age where it is.
To deny a person sovereignty of their bodies by pretending that what they do to themselves is somehow a social issue is just unethical. What they do to society is a social issue, not the origin of that action.
I think 19 is appropriate. It works in Canada. Any younger won't because same students stay in highschool for an extra year and going to school with hangovers were quite common when grade 13 was still in place.
I think the number one reason to lower the drinking age to 18 is that doing so would greatly reduce the number of underage arrests on college campuses. Most people don't turn 21 until their junior or senoir year where as almost everyone is 18 by the time they enter the begining of fall semester of freshman year. An 18 drinking age would make it so that all college students can legally drink without having to worry about getting busted by the cops or for that matter punk ass RA's.
i think it's worse here in canada.. you're legally an adult at 18, but then have to wait till you're 19 to drink and buy cigarettes.. it's only a year's difference, i just don't get it
I had my first (mild) alcoholic drink at 12, and my parents told me stories about when they were my age and they saw their friends taking drinking to the extreme and becoming ill from it. Sure enough, I witnessed the same things from kids whose parents never gave them a talk about it. I'm 19 now and do drink excessively sometimes, but never more than once a month.
as an australian where the drinking age is 18, i think it kinda works for us. sure there are kids that rebel and sloosh themself but the majority dont. i think it depends on your culture and how your family works. once i was probably 16 if i were to ask mum to buy me one, she would because she would rather me do it infront of her then behind her back. if we all took that approach on drinking i think kids wouldnt be going the wrong way about/with it.
I think that the drinking age should be lower. I'm from Puerto Rico and our drinking age is 18 and people are more mature about it. I think in the continental U.S.A the kids get way to exited for drinking when there underage and end up being immature about it and breaking the law to drink.
"Drinking age" is the wrong phrase. You have to be 21 to BUY alcohol publicly but you can go to a restaurant (at any age) with your parents, they can buy you a drink, and you can legally drink it. Turning 21 is more about being able to go out and have the ability to buy and consume alcohol in public WITHOUT parents or guardians.
Parents should be parents and teach their kids about alcohol at a young age rather than let their friends or the media teach them what's "cool".
No, I do not think America should lower their legal drinking age because of the following reason.
In Australia, our drinking age is 18, and yet we still have the same problem as America does, where underaged people obtain alcohol and drink irresponsibly.
To lower the legal drinking age, you would only be shifting the bracket in which kids are being exposed to alcohol, which will *not* have a positive effect on society or young people.
If anything, the legal age wordwide should be raised.
@hyp3rstrike Well from what I've noticed with under aged drinkers is not only is one of the reasons do they drink its well, because it's illegal for them too. So in turn, they feel rebellious, which is what most teens want. To be grown up and rebellious, so weather the drinking age was raised or lowered, it wouldn't really matter.
@hyp3rstrike I agree with that. Because it would shift and more people would be exposed, The ages when people start consuming Alcohal (15-20) Will just be lowered even more (Probably 10-17),
My parents never made much of a big deal about alcohol. They never let me have a whole glass of wine or a bottle of beer but they let me have a sip now and again. The result being that I learned early on what I liked and also how to be responsible about it. On the other hand, I know a lot of guys who did it the same way and are still raving alcoholics regardless of any parental supervision.
@Aettaro My parents were the same way. My dad was the one that let me have sips from his drinks if I asked and only at home. I did have a sip of champayne at a wedding with my mom once. Tasted horrible, by the way. I had my first wine cooler when I was 18, and that was also at home, with my family. Now that I am 21, I feel like I have been properly introduced to alcohol. The only time I had alcohol without my parents knowing was in high school: a sip of vodka in a Mt. Dew bottle from a friend.
attempt to protect the health of the nations citizens? Well than i would beg to question if the age should be raised. I do not fully understand the main reasoning behind the age it is on now but seeing as it is right in between the two perspective i have, i have very little problem with twenty one.
A large part of why the legal drinking age is as high as it is would be do to the idea that alcohol would indeed be detrimental to the mental development of someone as young as twenty. When in fact, the brain is still greatly developing until the age of twenty five. If the matter question of when the drinking age should be is strictly in regards to peoples rights in hopes they choose to drink responsibly? A younger age is defend-able. If the drinking age is strictly based on a somewhat futile..
Trust me it doesn't work that way Dan. I'm from Ireland and we literally have 14 & 15 year olds drunk every weekend, because we are too lenient with the drinking age. There is too much drinking in our culture and its out of control.
People in Ireland (and even the UK) don't drink responsibly and we have out drinking age at 18. Its like giving a suicidal person a rope, just not smart.
@FIREFRO626 well, also in the rest of the US... and in texas, any person can drink if they are with their legal guardian and THEY (being the guardians) allow it.
I love how society in general applies completely arbitrary numbers to maturity. As if the day you turn [legal drinking age] instantly increases your maturity level compared to the day before that.
It gets even more rediculous when you assume that all people older than [legal drinking age] are automatically old enough to handle it. How many alcoholics do you know that are younger than twenty?
@westin1985 I don't that's entirely true as many early teenagers get some money by themselves, but they haven't developed a full sense of responsibility... What would you think about your 11-years-old brother buying alcohol and getting drunk with the money he just got from selling lemonade?
@TheM4D I gonna suspect something. A lemonade stand every once in a while mabe gets him $5 each time. What's that maybe three beers? Let him drink them. It won't hurt him. If he is that motivated to work hard, then maybe he deserves a beer. If more kids were thinking that hard to make money and that willing, then let them get the beer. Hey the schools ain't doing that great of job.
@westin1985 I definitely agree with you about schools, but I strongly disagree with the point that they're not getting hurt from drinking three beers... I think we could compensate them in another way, a safer yet-enjoyable way. Alcohol has many deletereous effects on your body, and it only helps if you drink no more than 2 drinks per day (1 for women). I don't think their environment should be "risk-free", but they should grow in appropriate-for-development conditions
@TheM4D This is just proof that the nanny state has brainwashed everybody. I've seen people in their 40's and 50's that have been drinking all their lives. They don't die from drinking it's something else. My point being there is a lot of bad stuff out there and drinking ain't high the list. If your smart and have a lot going for you dont' drink. Those people are smart enough to know that. If your just average joe, who cares. It doesn't make any difference. If your life is crap, then whatever.
@westin1985 Do you think early teenagers are smart enough to know that? do you think a teenager thinks about his life as a long term goal rather than a shorter way? It is during the adolescence when you acquire that kind of thought... Before that, you are a dependent person (physically, emotionally, and economically)
@TheM4D Your psych theory needs to be checked. Long term thinking happens in adolescence. Don't buy into that one. Teens take life one day at a time just like most adults. The only difference between them is adults have experience in their favor. Like I said before there is alot of bad stuff out there and drinking is not high on that list.
@westin1985 "Psych theory"? ahhahahaha I'm a medical student and I know what I'm talking about... That's just how you normally develop through adolescence, and that theory is well supported by many scientific literature. You can check any book you want about Pediatrics...
@TheM4D You really have to look at those psych tests to see how they were doing that to come out and say teens have long term thinking abilities. I don't know what they call long term and at what age teens are long term thinkers. I think a person develops long term thinking as a skill. Some are better than others through natural ability and some are just skilled because they force that use. Most teen and people in their early 20's suck at long term thinking. They can do it. They just suck at it.
@TheM4D Do do you have any idea how they test for long term thinking? I thinking it's like I want to do this and it will take a month to do it. So I have to keep track of what I am doing and make incremental progress. I bet the psych test are a lot easier than what I am thinking. They prosecute kids for crimes using the assumption that they calculated what they doing. One doc says they know what they were doing and another doc says their kids and they didn't know. Sound like a lot of gray area
@TheM4D These people in government don't care about a persons health. They put drinking age limitations into law to cut down on the drunk drivers. The insurance companies pushed that law through. They pushed the seat belt laws through. They pushed texting while driving law through. It comes down to a money thing not a health thing. Yet they give shots to babies knowing that the shots will impair most kids to varing degrees. Autism is a worst case outcome. Milder outcomes are not as noticable.
@TheM4D Since your a med student I want to ask you about what you know about the shots they give to babies. I know your down on alcohol. Do you know the mercury in those shots impairs a childs brain development at critical age of development? The medical system will teach you that the shots are great. They don't teach you that the stuff goes in those shots gives brain damage. Search for vid --> Mercury, Vaccines and the Global Population Control Agenda......... Let me know what you think.
@westin1985 I think we should talk through the inbox so it'll be easier to read and follow the topic... I already sent you a message on shots, and i will reply soon about long-term thinking ;D (let me know if you get those messages)
A beer every now and then isn't going to hurt anybody. Laying drunk all the time is a problem. If they can't go without beer, and they throw a tantrum about it then its become a problem. This is not just a beer problem. What about people that are addicticted to food and eat to much. What about people that play too many video games. What if they need their teddy bear to function. Alcohol is a problem for some people at any level and thus should never be started. Ohers can can get buy with it.
In australia it's 18, cmon america, this argument is almost as dumb as keeping your worthless pennies in circulation. The world has moved on, and as a superpower, you need to do so as well.
I didn't drink until I turned 21. (Yeah, I'm a statistical outlier. Whatchoo goin' do about it?) I had my first beer on my 21st birthday. Would I have had it earlier if the drinking age was lowered? Maybe. Would that have changed the way I use alcohol? No. Definitely not.
FWIW, I've been told that the drinking age is supposedly 21 because it's far easier to damage your liver at younger ages. Supposedly.
14 seems stupid, not many kids at that age are responsible :) 16 (Italy, I think?) is alright, but at least 18 for sure! 21 is too late. It really is.
When I graduated highschool, society told me "Ok, you need to figure out what you're going to do with your life", whether it was college, etc. I ended up working in the mine for a while, and I quit recently. According to society, it was ok that the mine could have collapsed on me, and it was ok that had I gone to college I probably would have ended up switching my major x times then realizing I didn't like it and dropping out, you know, it's fine if I ruin my life in THOSE ways for some reason.
the drinking age in australia is 18, and i am more than happy with that, i would be pissed if that where to change, but the age at witch most australians have there first beer allso shifts. insted of 15 - 19 its around 12 - 17. just puting it out there
Personally, i think alcohol should be illegal worldwide; unfortunately, the 1920's showed that that's not practical because society is composed of too many idiot and people who take advantage of that.
hey, we would really appreciate if some of you guys would check out our channel and watch some of our videos. we work really hard on them and would like some of your feedback and please subscribe if you like them! :)
This is a complex issue because it was the federal government that blackmailed the states into making the drinking age 21. Before they did that each state could set their own drinking age.
I live in the UK, the age limit is 18. that means that there are 3 years less for people to be ALLOWED to drink. I very strongly believe that being disallowed to do something that by in large others are allowed to do - you gon' do it!
Honestly though I just think that 18 is old enough anyway. Alcohol does the same thing to 18yrs as it does 21 yr olds. its not the drink thats the problem...
my first taste of alcohol was red wine at Easter dinner (very formal one with a very long prayer that you took a sip of wine after every verse). And I was like.... 4?
It was admittedly watered down wine and not very much of it, but still... Actually now that I think about it that's sort of like communion wine, so does it really count?
In Norway it is 18 for beer, wine and cider up to alcohol content of 22% then for the rest it is 20. I personally think it pretty dumb that not before you are 20 you're able to consume stronger alcohol.
my first drink = probably 8-10 years old. I drink responsibly, have never had a hangover and rarely drink more than 3-4 beers, and in fact, rarely drink at all.
I live in Austria where you can drink beer and wine at the age of 16. When you are 18 (yeay finally!) you can legally consume any type of alcohol.
Of course, once you turn 16, you start to go out on Friday nights. They/we drink the hard stuff. Fake ID's, waiters that don't care or don't notice, that the kids are underage.
I think that a drinking age of 16/18 is appropriate. 21 is just too damm high, cos... well everybody knows somebody who can get you "the good stuff".
I went to university in New York when 18 was the drinking age. We sat around in taverns drinking beer (it was cheap), but we weren't driving so we was fairly safe. I see on YouTube British students in pubs drinking pints, presumably not driving around - seems reasonably civilized to me. Driving may be more the problem than drinking.
Living in the UK where the drinking age is 18, a lot of my friends still drink who are under 18, so I'm not really sure whether the legal limit is an issue at all, but more the way people are educated with regards to drinking responsibly by their parents...
lol in the netherlands its 16 and we're about to HEIGHTEN it to 18

And even here in California, with probably the most complex driving instruction and licensing process in the U.S. the legal drinking age of 21 doesn't stop the average 16 year old from drinking and driving and getting into a possibly fatal wreck.

@UTubeLightBulb Look at the world statics for DUI deaths. The US has 14.5 deaths per 100.000 people. Countries with 18 or 19 year old drinking ages Australia - 8, Canada - 9, UK - 5.5, New Zealand - 9. This alone proves that your country either has shocking driving instructors or binge drinking is a real problem. Due to the legal drinking age being well into adulthood. There is a reason being an adult happens at eighteen and not twenty it gives teens two years of responsibility

18 here in the UK, but anyone above about the age of 14 can legally drink with a meal. The majority of people I know who aren't responsible when drinking are around the age of 16 and are either stupid or are just going through teenage rebellion. I've been encouraged to have a glass of wine with a meal every now and then for years and it just seems normal to have a glass and not be stupid with the amount I drink...

I am 16 years old. At various family occasions, my family members give me several alcoholic beverages, because they know they can trust me to drink responsibly.

Not all underage drinkers are irresponsible, and I definitely support Dan's point.

i live in the uk and the drinking age is 18 but i had a bit of champagne when i was 1 year old because my Nona is Italian i think that we should teach every one about enjoying wines and fine spirits with food instead of getting pissed its ridiculous that you are legally counted as an adult but you don't have all the privalages and freedoms until you are 21.

I like the way it was done when I was a teen in Louisianan. The drinking age was 18 in bars but to buy from a liquor store or something it was 21. That way you were in a somewhat controlled environment and less likely to end up drinking and driving and such.

@Shnimberz I don't really think it's necessary to have a "way" or "technique" to avoid alcohol, if you don't want to drink then you don't. Of course it can be a bit strange to be sober around a bunch of drunk friends, but I have never experienced being mocked for not drinking. On the contrary. In general I think people often exaggerate about group pressure, when it comes to alcohol. But if it does happen, the worst reason to start drinking is because you feel pressured to do it.

I'm 19 and I have never really drank anything. Eventually I will be able to drink but I actually don't ever want to drink at all. I just feel like alcohol kind of clouds the mind, I know myself, I don't have that much self discipline, and I know things might get out of hand. A problem I'll have in the future is figuring out how I can avoid drinking without being mocked. Do girls like guys who don't drink, I don't mean to force it on others, is there a way to avoid alcohol in a social activity?

I was in Italy for a month over the summer, and I only saw two or three Italian drunks over the whole time span. That is compared to the 100 + drunk American college kids I saw every weekend. The bottom line is, wherever drinking is acceptable behavior, there will be substantially less abuse. I think that the government is stupid for not realizing that by now.

I drank for the first time when I was fourteen. It was half a glass of champagne at their anniversary dinner. My parents always taught us how to drink properly. If we drink, we stay with them all night. We may also have ONE drink.
I think that the age should be lowered. I know that much of the reason people want it to stay at 21 is to keep it out of schools, but why not lower it to 19 then.
Then anyone who is drinking is out of high school.

When I turned 21, it really was just another birthday. However, it saddens me to know that my 17 and 19 yr old sisters have already thrown up and passed out because of their unhealthy obsession with alcohol. I feel that parents should give small amounts of alcohol to their adolescents to develop responsibility early.

Pretty much every kid that wants to drink does anyway, so it really doesn't matter what the age is. I'm pretty sure they biggest reason they say the age is there is because your body is still developing at 18 and you can damage stuff by drinking. Who knows if that's true, I don't know but I haven't drank beyond tasting some stuff.

But then there's the age where you become an adult. In the state that I live, while you get the right to vote at eighteen, you don't reach the age of majority/"become an adult" until nineteen. My father, who runs a poll, has to call the parents of interviewees who are 18 in order to interview the 18 year olds legally.
Additionally, some college students where I live, can buy/rent an apartment, but not be legally bound by the contract when they're 18.
Hope someone followed that.

I'm from Norway, where the legal drinking age is 18. People still drink themselves completely wasted every weekend, and they usually start at the age of 15/16. I've never had a single drop of alcohol (and I'm 20) and I don't know ANYONE, not a single person besides me, who is not drinking. I think people are just going to drink the same amount of alcohol no matter what the legal age is...
There might be huge differences between America and Europe, though. People in Norway drink a lot.

The problem i see with lowering the drinking age is that people have proven then cannot be responsible in the questioned situation, so why should we now make it legal for them to be irresponsible? The problem isnt the law, it's the fact that parents aren't raising their children. If parents let their children drink in private at a lower age and encourage responsible habits then they wont be temped to do things like binge drinking. This is a parenting fail not a problem with the laws

Hi Dan,
it just so happends that in the Netherlands, where i live, consuming alcohol is legal from the age of 16. I talk from experience when I say that almost none of the positive speculations you make about what will happen when drinking age is reduced are righteous! I have read the links in the doobelydoo, but Dan, are you not always the sceptic? If ever important critical thinking should excite you to read reasearches that oppose your hypothesis!

So I watched your video Dan, then I scrolled on down to the comments and the first thing that came to my mind was that.
In Alaska if you were too join the armed forces, you'd get the privilege to drink if you were 18 years of age.
Now this subject affects me as I am 18, and my thoughts, and experiences are that alcohol is a.o.k (in small quantities) and I agree with what your saying .
But I also have a problem with it, in that if the drinking age was lower parents need to educate kids out of spa
coketbm 4 months ago
Here's my position on drinking in the US, it should be 18 and not just for all the reasons you stated but because you can join the military at 18. That's telling people 18-20 you're old enough to die for your country, but not to have a beer, a person for the current drinking age could retort, well then we'll raise that age to 21, no you can't, there's more reasons behind that but I'm short on space, there's no moral way to keep the drinking age where it is.

I think the number one reason to lower the drinking age to 18 is that doing so would greatly reduce the number of underage arrests on college campuses. Most people don't turn 21 until their junior or senoir year where as almost everyone is 18 by the time they enter the begining of fall semester of freshman year. An 18 drinking age would make it so that all college students can legally drink without having to worry about getting busted by the cops or for that matter punk ass RA's.

as an australian where the drinking age is 18, i think it kinda works for us. sure there are kids that rebel and sloosh themself but the majority dont. i think it depends on your culture and how your family works. once i was probably 16 if i were to ask mum to buy me one, she would because she would rather me do it infront of her then behind her back. if we all took that approach on drinking i think kids wouldnt be going the wrong way about/with it.

"Drinking age" is the wrong phrase. You have to be 21 to BUY alcohol publicly but you can go to a restaurant (at any age) with your parents, they can buy you a drink, and you can legally drink it. Turning 21 is more about being able to go out and have the ability to buy and consume alcohol in public WITHOUT parents or guardians.
Parents should be parents and teach their kids about alcohol at a young age rather than let their friends or the media teach them what's "cool".

In Australia, our drinking age is 18, and yet we still have the same problem as America does, where underaged people obtain alcohol and drink irresponsibly.
To lower the legal drinking age, you would only be shifting the bracket in which kids are being exposed to alcohol, which will *not* have a positive effect on society or young people.
If anything, the legal age wordwide should be raised.

My parents never made much of a big deal about alcohol. They never let me have a whole glass of wine or a bottle of beer but they let me have a sip now and again. The result being that I learned early on what I liked and also how to be responsible about it. On the other hand, I know a lot of guys who did it the same way and are still raving alcoholics regardless of any parental supervision.

@Aettaro My parents were the same way. My dad was the one that let me have sips from his drinks if I asked and only at home. I did have a sip of champayne at a wedding with my mom once. Tasted horrible, by the way. I had my first wine cooler when I was 18, and that was also at home, with my family. Now that I am 21, I feel like I have been properly introduced to alcohol. The only time I had alcohol without my parents knowing was in high school: a sip of vodka in a Mt. Dew bottle from a friend.

sbarmy5 4 months ago
A large part of why the legal drinking age is as high as it is would be do to the idea that alcohol would indeed be detrimental to the mental development of someone as young as twenty. When in fact, the brain is still greatly developing until the age of twenty five. If the matter question of when the drinking age should be is strictly in regards to peoples rights in hopes they choose to drink responsibly? A younger age is defend-able. If the drinking age is strictly based on a somewhat futile..

I love how society in general applies completely arbitrary numbers to maturity. As if the day you turn [legal drinking age] instantly increases your maturity level compared to the day before that.
It gets even more rediculous when you assume that all people older than [legal drinking age] are automatically old enough to handle it. How many alcoholics do you know that are younger than twenty?

In Norway it is 18 for beer, wine and cider up to alcohol content of 22% then for the rest it is 20. I personally think it pretty dumb that not before you are 20 you're able to consume stronger alcohol.

my first drink = probably 8-10 years old. I drink responsibly, have never had a hangover and rarely drink more than 3-4 beers, and in fact, rarely drink at all.

Although to be truly honest, most of us just drink tea instead.

I live in Austria where you can drink beer and wine at the age of 16. When you are 18 (yeay finally!) you can legally consume any type of alcohol.
Of course, once you turn 16, you start to go out on Friday nights. They/we drink the hard stuff. Fake ID's, waiters that don't care or don't notice, that the kids are underage.
I think that a drinking age of 16/18 is appropriate. 21 is just too damm high, cos... well everybody knows somebody who can get you "the good stuff".

I live in Canada and it's 19. And I think that's a perfect age. :)

I went to university in New York when 18 was the drinking age. We sat around in taverns drinking beer (it was cheap), but we weren't driving so we was fairly safe. I see on YouTube British students in pubs drinking pints, presumably not driving around - seems reasonably civilized to me. Driving may be more the problem than drinking.

Living in the UK where the drinking age is 18, a lot of my friends still drink who are under 18, so I'm not really sure whether the legal limit is an issue at all, but more the way people are educated with regards to drinking responsibly by their parents...
Just my thoughts.

Do that drinking age exclude for religious purposes?
