[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drinking is not morally wrong.

There is a huge difference between laws and morals[/quote]

You don't think it is immoral to violate a law that is itself not immoral? Or do you think the legal drinking age is immoral and should be protested by teen drinking until it is abolished?[/quote]
Wut?
The drinking age is arbitrary, as are many laws. There is nothing that magically happens on your 21st birthday to make it moral. [/quote]

Well it’s not moral at 17 simply because a bunch of lazy parents say so. [/quote]
What is immoral about drinking?
You have messed up values. [/quote]

No, you have messed up logic. Violating a just law is immoral. That was the point. Violating an unjust law usually is not immoral, hence the question.[/quote]
Refer to the post above. Explain how drinking at 20.5 is immoral but drinking at 21 is not. It’s two separate concepts that you can’t seem to grasp. [/quote]

Drinking at 20.5 is immoral [b]because[/b] it is unlawful. If it were legal, then it would not be immoral in and of itself. Violating a just law is immoral. Immoral describes a behavior that conscientiously goes against accepted ideas and beliefs about how to behave in a way that is considered right and good by the majority of people. In our society, obeying the law is moral, disobeying the law is immoral. So violating laws about the legal drinking age is immoral [b]unless[/b] that law is unjust and itself goes against accepted ideas and beliefs about right and wrong.[/quote]
