Your opinion on the Drinking age being 21?

I know it lowers car crashes and DWI. But come on, kids can sign up and go to war, become lagal adults, smoke, and go to prison at 18, but they cant drink. That does not make much sence to me, when you become an legal adult you should be able to make your own choices. Share your opinion on the matter please.
Answer:
yes i know hat you mean i live in canada and its differnt by province but here is sask you cnat vote drink smoke buy porn at 18 drive at 16 and drink at 19 i think it works good only problem is now that in your case they could not just drop the age down to 18 immidialtely it would be a shock on the system in that suddenly youd have a bunch of people between 18-21 goin out and getting smashed and driving home some people run a little too hard with freedom . now in france there is no drinking age and has never relaly been and they dont have a drinking problem because its not a big deal that they can finnaly drink. doing that now would just cuase problems

I think the drinking age should be 65.

Yes it does lower the rate of accidents but I tend to agree with you, if your old enough to vote, go to war, etc. you should be able to go to a bar, however that being said I have absolutely no sympathy for drunk drivers.

My opinion, drinking age should be 21 because....

1. At 18; You can sign up for the military, but you don't just jump into it like Rambo, they train you.
2. At 18; You can smoke, but other than burning down a house, your just hurting yourself.
3. At 18; You can go to prison, because long before you reached this age you should know right from wrong.
4. At 18; Most young adults are still chuckle heads and cant handle their liquor. (IE Girls Gone Wild Videos, and recent concert debacles)

Young adults need time to fully mature , throwing in a mind altering substance just doesn't help things out. As I said its just my opinion.

If you can vote, own a gun, and die for your country; I think you should be able to have a drink as well.

I think either the drinking age should be reduced to 18, or the age of majority (legal adulthood) should be raised to 21 across the board.

It makes little sense to argue that someone is not mature enough to walk into the grocery store and buy a six pack at 18, but that they ARE mature enough to walk into a military recruiter's office and sign away 3 years of their life...possibly to lose it in a war.
