Oh, who cares. Lower the drinking age to 18 anyway, if you're an adult you're an adult.

Silly article.

That's right.

If you are old enough to defend our country, you should be old enough to drink (at 18).

The only post of yours I can agree with.

Absolutely correct! If you can be sent overseas to kill at 18, why the hell can't you have a beer?

Ludicrous!

Why is this poor kid's name being dragged through the mud? This story is hardly newsworthy.

Poor kid, too bad he can't experience life like other kids do.

While those with military ID should be able to consume alcohol, the enabling of ridiculously immature persons of 18 to act out their immaturity is counterproductive. The 26th Amendment to the Constitution was designed to trash common sense and mature politic in America. It should be repealed and replaced with one placing the voting age and implied age of majority at age 26. That is the earliest age referenced in the Constitution for representing one's country. Exceptions for anyone in the active services would be sensible, because they've had some maturity forced on them.

You express such sympathy for the drunken, privileged son of a member of Congress, but express nothing but contempt for women who seek to avoid bringing unwanted children into the world.

Is that disjointed thinking the product of a Christian upbringing, would you say, or are you just dimwitted?

Or maybe sending 18-year-olds overseas to kill is the problem.

I think with a father like Rand Paul, the kid has suffered enough.

That's the difference between having Rand Paul for a dad, and having a dad with an IQ above two digits.

Rand Pauls is a republican and fair game for the MSM. Liberal's kids not so much.

Most of us have done underage drinking in our lives.

Drinking is relative. In europe children get water mixed with low amounts of wine, they drink in pubs and bars at 1t, but then they are usually more mature than american kids than binge drinking into stupidity. It's how liberals are born.

16, oops one too many.

I tried not to believe it, but you DO sound like Le Jimbo, what with your off-the-subject irrelevancies. Is it an alter ego, or a hermaphroditic result of birth?

I had my first shot of whiskey at the age of seven. And I had my first bout of the heaves about five seconds later.
