My U/O about drinking age

MCC1010

I do not understand why the legal drinking age is 21. At the age of 18 you can vote, join the military and get married but you can't have a  drink. I think that if you are allowed to die for your country, choose a president or start a family then you should be able to buy a beer.

Living outside of Detroit, our legal drinking age is really 19, because we're practically Canadian.  

But in all, I agree with you.

Mmhmm...totally agree.

I agree! I honestly think we should switch to the way they do it in Europe. Drinking age at 16, and you cant drive till you're 18. When I lived there, it seemed to work really well as far as I could tell. :]

That's funny cause I swear everyone I know disagrees with me. I'm glad it isn't an unpopular opinion elsewhere

I agree, but I also agree with the PP in that the age for driving should be elevated to 18.

Ha!  I grew up in Canton, and I can't tell you how many weekends I spent in Windsor when I was 19 and 20....man, that brings back some memories.

ETA  - MCC, I totally agree.

EVERY single weekend for me. As soon as I turned 19 all the way through 20. I was sick of the bars by the time I turned 22 (I went so much). I was living in Walled Lake during those years.

I don't think it's an UO.

In Europe, you can drink as soon as you can reach the bar. It's a normal way of life there.

I agree.

I also think we should do what Ashley proposed - up the driving age to 18 and lower the drinking age to 16. I think that would solve some of our problems.
