The Drinking Age

[BucketPukes1969]

europe doesnt have less "binge drinking" they just dont look at it as evil.

[TheDeerhuntergod]

y'all are right they should

[BryanNC08]

I'm underage and drunk right now!!! Haha fuck prohibition for minors. IT DON'T WORK DUMBASSES!!!

[stoptehspam]

I'm underage now and don't want it lowered. My reasoning: there'd be no advantage in studying female anatomy

I graduated high school a week before my 19th Birthday

i'll be 21 in june 2009... going to college in january 08 as a freshmem (monetary setbacks suck)

Which means that in fall 2009 I'd be a 21 yr old freshmen surrounded by 18-19yr old freshmen girls...

Don't worry Mommy and Daddy they won't be driving ... they'd be spending the night with me >=]

I can see what you mean... you want the pussy but....mmmmmmmm?!?!?! ALCOHOL MUTHA FUCKA!!! ok..

[cross10ksu]

fuck no the drinking age should not be 18

it is retarded to lower it to 18....

Move to Denmark, buying drinks in store is 16 there, but mostly you get to buy beers in stores without asking about id when ur 14-15

Denmark first got a drinking age in 1998, 10 years ago. Then it was 15, they raised it to 16 in 2004.

Thats what i call a good alcohol culture ;)

The foremost advocates of the drinking age are former alcoholics and annoying Christian moms. We shouldn't let a bunch of losers who couldn't control their own consumption dictate the consumption of other people, and nor should we sacrifice civil liberties (yes, folks, that's what it is called for citizens above 18) to satisfy the whims of stupid evangelical bitches (who, to remind you, imposed Prohibition on America). The negative effects of the drinking age are already well-documented enough.

i think they should lower the drinking age to 18 but increase the price of alcohol to at least twice the original price, and hopefully 18 year olds would think twice before purchasing the booze.

[carter20081985]

that is dumb

[ALEE775]

clarify your answer

[carter20081985]

it don't work that way when you raise the price for something in this country. They have been rasing cigarrets price for years and the still buy then so raising the price of alcohol won't help

[ALEE775]

well the alcohol company's would make more:)

[fjwjr]

Ummmm.....asking underage college students if the drinking age should be lowered and calling it a "poll".

The roads in Vermont suck, we don't have the money to fix them. This move would cost the state millions in federal highway funds, so the state wants to RAISE the gas tax for highway repair... all so these tards can hit the bars. They're gettin' cocked and we're gettin' screwed.

Come to Canada, it's lower 19 in Ontario, 18 in Quebec.

[BryanNC08]

Hell yea! I plan on moving there until I turn 21 one than come back to fascist America when I will truly have all my rights.

[Zaiba89]

ahh yes. In Canada, alcoholism isn't as bad because we demonize it less. In Europe, people don't even have a lot of car crashes that involve alcohol. In fact it's in their culture.

By raising the drinking age, you take away experience what otherwise might have been used. If the drinking age is 18, more deaths will occur at 18 than 21. If the drinking age is 21, more deaths will occur at 21 than 25, and etc. It should be abolished.

[omgitsru]

The government tried that with prohibition, it failed miserably because it caused organized crime, smuggling, and other crimes that the government couldn't stop. And do you think it is fair that I can vote and die for my country but i can't go to the bar to get myself a drink.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

I don't understand what you mean. I'm for abolishing the drinking age, not enforcing it. Prohibition was about making alcohol illegal, not freely accesible.

[ALEE775]

Why not just increase the price of alcohol? It will make students think twice before they purchase it since students make shit-all money.

[Sims2789]

Drunk driving deaths started dropping in 1969, and from 1984 to 1998 they dropped 61% among 18-21 year olds and 58% among 21 to 24 year olds, a negligible difference.

Americans deserves the 21 age thingy, cuz they are so damn immature, get a beer or some few they run around like bitches screaming, yellin and singing.

[savesxthexday1]

I agree with the drinking age being lowered to 18, but this survey is absolute shit. You cant survey just college kids about lowering the drinking age. Thats like surveying horny guys asking if they should get dome at least twice a day. The survey is bias, but i really do hope the drinking age gets changed.

[fjpko]

jajaja the thing is that americans are very stupid when is about drinking... they are not mature enough....they want to get shitfaced always.... its too late for doing that....it will become dangerous for the US

[michaud535]

It's 18 in some provinces here in Canada, most of them it's 19 and we think that is outragious!  America is probably the only country in the world that won't let 20 year olds drink.

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

I live in the UK the drinking age is 18 here
