They were talking about it on talk radio this afternoon. A caller talked about his son, a Staff Sergeant in the Army, who the Government trusts to lead troops into battle, elect a president,etc etc but doesn't trust his judgement on whether to drink a beer with his lunch or a glass of wine with dinner. It all starts at home. People need to be parents and teach their kids responsibility and trust and not wait for the nanny-state to regulate when you can do this or that. European nations don't make a big deal out of it and kids grow up okay even with the demon spirits in their midst.

I wish they would lower the age to 5.
Id like to be able to share a beer with my son from time to time legally.

it should be 18...some oldtimers around here, would probably mention the fact that KS had 18 as their legal drinking age back about 25 years or so ago. Many of the 18 yo's on the MO side would venture to the KS side for the nights to enjoy the liberties that MO wouldnt allow. Of course, the MO police were waiting at the border.
I was about 16 when the law changed in KS. Fortunately for me, my friends were 21 when I was 18. That helps... a lot.

Lowering the drinking age in this country would be dumb. Think back, when were your most confusing and stressful times in life? I'd say from around 17-22. I don't have much of a reason as to why i totally think they shouldn't change the age, but i feel like its just not a good idea, not at all.

I agree..its ****ing stupid that its 21 now..if they would stop making such a big deal over alcohol there wouldn't be so many problems imo..people would be used to it and not abuse it so much

The thrill is lots of the reason why underage people do it. Put at 18 and lots of problems stop IMO.

There is no cause so noble it won't attract fucktards.
