Raise Drinking Age?

haha this ^^

See! There are some benefits to being 21!!!

gaayyyyyyy

Raise it, i am 19 (20 in 2/3 months) and i couldn't care less.
Would give me a reason to stop spending so much money for a year and a bit.
Then when I am 21 there will be less little kids running around with fake id's.
Do it Ruddy.

Young people should be able to drink at an early age so that they can develop mental illnesses so that psychologists and psychiatrists will have more work.

Young people should be able to drink so that they can feed the corporate machines that give fat men money to spend on hookers and cocaine.

Young people should have sex with people of the same gender in an attempt to abolish any sort of stigma associated with homosexuality.

Raise it to 21, I don't care.

Wheres the punchline, oh wait.... UR TOTES SERIOUS!!

I'm more worried about going to shows if they raise the drinking age. At people houses and such however people ignore the drinking age. Raising it wont do anything.

Totally should raise drinking age to 21. Harsher punishments for underage drinkers and supplying alcohol to a minor.

Learn not?

Also, they're never going to actually raise the drinking age. It just wont happen. Fighting a losing battle.

do it.. doesn't effect me..

will mean less annoying people in bars/ pubs around the city.. yay..

the legal drinking age here is 18, but who had their first drink after they were 18?

not many i'd say, it wont change anything.

Drinking age is fine. Alot of people start drinking before 18 anyway.

If anything, the age required to obtain a drivers licence should be raised.

I had my first at 15 or 14. But have never had gotten drunk after that. I'm proof that drinking before your 18 or 21 doesn't cause you to become an alco. Then again most of my school mates at a christian school drink and have been since they were 13 :S

I believe that should legalize weed then the abuse rate will go down. People will just be chilled all the time. Any way you can go to work stoned in office jobs but can't go to work drunk.

I am still pro alcohol age 21.

You just hate it because you aren't 21 yet haha.

As long as they change it after June I don't care tbh.

think before you type

wha do you suck upon ?

Can they wait at least 3 years =]

no that means i have to wait anther 5

Australian culture is fucked (I went out in Adelaide last night and that proved it). Same with New Zealand.

Europeanens drink from 16 in most nations and they have no-where near the same level with problems of binge drinking or violence. England is the major exception to it.

I think they need to focus less on laws and more on the way teenagers experience alcohol when they're young. It's really a lazy and gratuitous solution to the issues with binge and underage drinking, but will no doubt be a crowd pleaser to those who would rather slap some laws down and ignore the real issues. But who am I to talk, I got drunk first at 15, binge drank for 3 years and now at twenty rarely drink and dislike getting drunk.

i just think its pathetic.
They can't stop kids drinking underage now, what makes them think changing the drinking age is going to do anything?
People are still going to find a way to get their hands on alcohol regardless

I reckon drugs should be legal. Alcohol should be banned.

.. all drugs?

Yeah but like you can't make or grow them without license.

Like.. heroin? crack? legal?

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
