Do you think the drinking age should be 18 again?

[Gloryhound]

If they up the enlistment age, theyd never get as many people. They gotta catch these kids fresh out of school when they dont know any better !!!

You think these men and women signing up for the military don't know any better? Then how about you either give up your rights as an American that these troops are willing to die for or stand in front of them next time the bullets start flying!

He's not talking about supporting them. He's talking about joining them.

i understand that.just not why they would have to give up there rights

As far as I see it, his innuendo concerning not knowing better is an insult to the brave men and women who join our military, the veterans who have served this country, and their judgment. It is intolerable that people insult those who have fought and volunteer to fight for the rights that they enjoy. Our men and women in uniform should be regarded as hero's and role models more so than any professional athlete or other public figure.

I've been to bars where if you are not for the local team you are likely to not get out alive. Every bar in the US should be that way when it comes to our greatest teams of all. Army, Airforce, Navy, and Marines.

I never said i dont appreciate what they do. My whole point is that if they had a few years to mull it over AFTER high school, a good portion of them may not do it. Young impressionable minds. It may not sound all that great,, but it happens all the time

This song pretty much sums up the college drinking mindset....

...so sure lower the drinking age. I'm all for it.

[ev477]

It's so easy to drink underage and it is such a rare occurance for people to get in serious trouble.

If you lower the drinking age, people might start drinking at a younger age overall. There are some consequences, but I really could care less about the drinking age. I mostly drink in the privacy of my own home and have not had any trouble walking around the streets carrying beer from one place to another (knock on wood I also know people who can get me beer so it's no problem.

Really? what would one consider Rare?... i think any, is too much personally.
I have to count on two hands in the past Two years where people i know personally or situations i have heard about locally with people that have either died, or were seriously/permenantly injured due to underage drinking accidents, or OUI's ...
