@mrxd17 yeah 18 for hard liquor and 16 for beer wine, education through respect and experience are the best tools is preventing abuse or a substance.

Have you guys seen cartoon network lately and seen an alcohol commercial for some sport or professional sport as in boxing, wrestling and cage fighting. We advertise and then get mad when they do what we say.

In some places internationally, the legal drinking age IS 18; however, the people under 21 think that they can buy alcohol anywhere in the world. When I was 19, I went to Florida with my family, ordered a beer, and the waitress carded me, then I learned my lesson.

This is why you dont delegate the private sector to sell controlled substances like liquor. They're all in it for the money

Now I know which stores to try. Those "minors" don't even look like average teens 15-17 they look 20. Btw the legal drinking age should be 18.

In some stores here in the city, there is a sign with words to the effect of: "If you're trying to buy liquor or tobacco of any kind, and you appear to be under 30, well then we're going to have to ask you to show some ID -- and hence proof that you are indeed of age. In other words: No ID, No Liquor, No Tobacco, No Argument. It's the Law. Period. Next in line, please?"

Channel 4 News -- that would be KRON-TV 4, here in San Francisco.

Holy fuck!

Wow, you must be really stupid to serve alcohol to a minor.

If I have to show id to buy allergy meds that are behind the counter, then everyone buying alcohol should have to show id.
