Does anyone else think the drinking age is bullshit? You can own a gun, die in a war, but god forbid you drink a beer. This to me is a just another move towards a republic. This is totally unconstitutional! The war on fun continues! God forbid you have fun, you might enjoy yourself! Sign a petition against the 21 law. http://www.petitiononline.com/AD793/petition.html

Hehehehe, silly americans...sucks to be you

Why let the law stop you? It's not as though drugs are legal but are still easy to locate and use...

Not sure on how strict your laws are, but in Australia it's very easy to get away with drinking underage. Most parents I know buy alcohol for the kids when they are 14-15+ for parties ect. I always had to find the older friends to get mine...

Granted, it is bullshit that you can't legally drink till your 21, but what do I care? I'm 19 and already legal in Australia.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

Sucks to be you...

Ppfff I could enter any liquor store and buy any kind of booze when I was 13. It was illegal, but no one gave a flying fuck about it. I could also enter freely clubs. Now that It's legal for me enter, I don't go anymore. Nightlife sucks. It was only fun when it was forbidden. All you ravers and your laser shows are idiotoc.

yup, ravers suck...

The law has driven a bunch of pissed off people to do something about it. If you don't like the drinking age laws, you can always visit shadowcrew.com. Signing petitions doesn't get shit done, but you can get a novelty ID and be drinking in a few days.

I've never had a problem getting drinks at any age. When I was 15 in Australia, I got drinks, no problem. When I was 16 in DC, still, no problem. I don't think many people respect the laws. They are just there to make the country look caring and mature to other countries.

I don't think there should be a legal drinking age but people under 10 shouldn't get drunk. Well, I don't really care, get drunk when you want, just don't get caught.

I can safely say I have never been drunk!

(dude, I had 8 double shots of jack daniels in under 30 min and was perfectly fine)

Besides, its costly to get a 6'4" 200lb person drunk

HEY!! Lets form a Rebellion like the Wiskey(sp) Rebellion!!!! I'll be waiting in Africa for you..

NO! The drinking age is fine where it is. What should be lowerd is the voting age. Kids are more politically aware earlier than ever, lower the voting age!

I never believe this kinda thing till I see it. If you really have a problem getting drunk, try Grappa. Something like 80% alcohol. I've seen a guy that was probably about your size passed out with vomit all over the bathroom floor once at a party. This was drinking Grappa.

The funny thing was that he was into all this Viking shit and told me he had prayed to Odin to help him have a good night of drinking.

WELL WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW BITCH!

Where I live drinking age is 18. So I've got no complaints! *sips wine* muwahaha.

But I agree 21 is bullshit. You can die for your country but you can't drink? wtf?!

I don't let the law stop me. I still drink, because "my law" says I can. I just think it ridiculous I can't walk into a store and buy a beer. I can own a gun, go to prison, get killed for the government. As usual the majority, the youth is getting bent over and fucked.

Xenobite, it's pffft.

The legal age for drinking changed from 18 to 21 not because of the government wanting to keeping us from having fun, but because raising the drinking age is a quick fix to solve drunk driving accidents across the united states. (Keep in mind, our driving age is 16, which is rediculous to other countries, who even out the required ages 18-18)

If our driving age was 18, so would our drinking age. Besides, underage drinking is such a commonly accepted national pastime that it doesnt matter that we cant LEGALLY buy it till we're 21. It's simple social Darwinism: If you can find a way to afford and buy/steal booze before you turn 21, then you obviously deserve it. If every idiot could buy booze under 21, then every idiot would. Its a tradeoff. Deal with it. Everyone has to, and no 2000 signature booze-requesting petition will do any fucking good.
