I think it should be dropped because when people get into collage and turn 21 they want to drink drink drink as a fellow underager I know what it is like to drink drink drink Some kids do it because they are drunks but most kids do it because there is nothing else to do. If it is changed to under age maybe up a limit on it like you can only go to the bar until a certain time until you tune 21. Or you can't go to a liquor store and buy booze and take it home until you turn 21. TUNE IT TO 18 NOW!!!!!!

I don't think changeing the drinking age will change kid's ideas on drinking... It's against the law to drink underage, so kids drink because they are sooo "cool" to fight the law. Then when its finally legal, they go over board and drinkdrinkdrink because they can, and they aren't used to such responsibility. I grew up with an unlocked liquor cabinet in the kitchen. My dad let me try different wines and alcohols as a teen. He made his own beer, and let me try it. All in small quantities yes, but it got me used to the idea of alcohol, big deal, its another beverage. I honestly think that if more kids were raised like that, they wouldn't be so inclined to drinkdrinkdrink once they came of age.

Quote from the article: "All right, then make the age of entry into the military 21."

Ahh, but the government would never do that. It's far easier to sucker a poor little 18 year old into the military than to sucker an older person who already is in the midst of college or a job.

"Some kids do it because they are drunks but most kids do it because there is nothing else to do."

Sorry, but I think those are the same thing. If you have to drink because you have nothing better to do, you are a drunk.

just because there are alot of people that drink underage, doesnt mean they should lower it.....
