Yay or nay?

EmoJoe · 07-24-2005, 05:44 PM

No

barwars · 07-24-2005, 05:44 PM

I figure, if I can die for my country, I can drink for it too.

MaydayMalonesGirl · 07-24-2005, 05:46 PM

I say no. When I'm older I'm going to crusade for a new prohibition.

that phrase is overused and a cheap card to pull IMO. Unless you're fighting in a war I don't understand the need to use it. If you want to drink the only people stopping you are your parents probably if you're smart about it. anyways, no.

if 18 year olds can smoke, why not drink? At least alcohol doesn't smell like dog ****

In my opinion, people my age are irresponsible enough as it is. We don't need to be drinking. So, no. Keep at 21.

Moonlight Lady · 07-24-2005, 06:04 PM

No, keep it at 21.

Max Whittaker · 07-24-2005, 06:07 PM

They do it anyway.

I agree. These days, fighting in a war is completely voluntary.

I think it should be lowered because teenagers will be less likely to drink stupidly. Some people (stupidly) drink because they get a high off of doing something illegal.... if it's not illegal, they probably wouldn't do it as much. We always want what we can't have.

vienna waits · 07-24-2005, 06:18 PM

then more 15 year olds will start drinking because suddenly all of the seniors in high school can drink legally and they want to be cool.

For now.

In any case, the issue is "If your old enough to be drafted". I am. But I'm not old enough to drink. Many people don't see the reason for that.

At my school most kids were drinking by 15 anyways.
