Re: Do you think the drinking age should be 18 again?
In Canada the drinking age is 19, and the age to buy porn is 18.
I believe that the drinking age should be 19 in the US, as well. Heck, in many European countries it is even lower, but, in fairness, the culture is different as well. Alcohol is not considered a raging 'taboo' in places like Greece, where older children are served a small glass of wine at the dinner table. I believe that the lack of taboo about alcohol contributes to the fact that many European countries have far fewer cases of alcohol related crimes, like impaired driving. Maybe they’ve built a higher tolerance for the stuff, or they’ve had longer to lean the value of moderation and responsible drinking. Either way...
I also believe the drinking age should be lowered for purely logical reasons. For example, in light of the fact that you only have to be 18 to join the Armed Forces. So, putting this into perspective; you can join the Army, get taught how to kill people, get handed live firearms and grenades, drive a freekin' tank, and get sent overseas to die for your country... but you are not considered "mature enough" to drink a beer in the privacy of your own home.
Ridiculous! Let them drink (legally, because we all know it happens anyway.) Ditto for porn!
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
