How old is old enough to drink?

If you're old enough to vote for president and serve your country in war, shouldn't you be old enough to have a beer? That has been the rallying cry of many college students since Wisconsin's legal drinking age ...

The drinking age should be old enough to keep alcoholic beverages out of the high and middle schools. As long as there are 18-year-olds in high school the drinking age has to be higher than 18.

Trying to keep it out of high schools is a good idea, perhaps there could be a way that the drinking age could be 18 WITH a diploma (still need some way to verify a diploma on an ID though). I also say "trying" to keep it out because there are still plenty of high school parties, and alcohol still seems easy to come by for high school students.

I think if where old enough to get drafted at 18 old enough to fight and die for this country at 18 old enough to vote at 18 old enough to smoke at 18 and old enough to drive at 18 and old enough to live on our own at 18
Then we are old enough to drink a beer at 18
Kids will find a way to still get a drink i always did and will still find new better ways.
Besides lowering the age to 18 Like many other countries could help pull america out of the reseccion,
If im old enough to fight and die for this country im old enough to drink

The reason the drinking age is at 21 is because that's the age when your brain is fully developed. Drinking before that age can severely damage a persons brain functions.

I think if you're old enough to be stupid, you're old enough to be stupid.
