[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason the drinking age is 21 and not 18 is because when there was a mix of states that had different drinking ages, 18 vs 21, alcohol related deaths were lower in the states where the drinking age was 21.

Alcohol related deaths included: cars (only about 30%)... the rest of the 70% was overdose, suicide and doing stupid shit when you were drunk.

The incident of binge drinking is very high before the age of 21.

The frontal lobe is not fully formed until about 25, maybe as late as 30.

I would prefer that low alcohol content beer/wine (in the 80's it was called 3.2 beer) be available at 18 (this would stop the sneaking of liquor), liquor not until 25 (of course nobody would go for that) and people should not go to war until they are 25.

The problem with the 18 yo drinking age is that kids will start at 16.

I would be fine with voting at 16 since most people are not smarter than a 16 yo. [/quote]

30?  Ha.  I guess we are all growed up when we're, what?  50? 80?

There are 20 something physicians performing surgeries in hospitals every day.  I sure as hell hope that they are reasonably responsible to do so.[/quote]
