Yeah, that's a stupid point to make, but let's not forget that the only reason states ever went along with Liddy Dole's dumbass idea is b/c she was transpo sec. and would have withheld federal funding for roads if they didn't.
A drinking age of 21 is one of the most horseshit laws imaginable. Get married, have kids, go to war, but by God, don't touch liquor.

That would have been a kick ass law to have back when I was 18 but getting it illegally was kind of fun looking back on it lol. Of course back then it was easier to get illegally, but still not easy.

It should have never went to 21 in the first place. Old enough to die for your country but you can't crack a beer.

I didn't say one had anything to do with the other. And I really don't give a shit what you think about it. Hamas mentioned it to but I guess that was OK in your book.

I wonder how much states make on college underages, not to mention lawyers?
Unfortunatly, I doubt this will happen. I think it should be raised, kids that go to college don't know their limits, and it is EVERYWHERE in college and in large quantities. I drank in high school, but no where near how much I did in college. |

So if we make consumption of alcohol legal for 18 year olds, we're really saying, "Go get drunk on your ass and then vote!"

I think the drinking age should be lowered but the driving age should be raised.
