Should the drinking age be put up to 21?
 
???

Sam! 05-10-2008 10:37 AM
Nooooo why would you want it to be lol.

Tom 05-10-2008 10:41 AM
No, it would make problems even worse than they already are

Jake! 05-10-2008 10:43 AM
No, smoking being put up was bad enough.

Think about it.

I think there should not even be a drinking age. Around Europe, people at any age can purchase alcohol with premission and can go into bars and clubs. This is good, and I will tell you why. If people at a younger age start drinking around the parents a little, it means that when they turn 18, they wont have a massive booze nighte every night.

In the UK, I think part of the crime is becaus eof people waiting until they are 18 to enter clubs, as soon as they turn 18, everything goes mad, fights, violence ect....

But in Europe, you never hear of these things because when people turn 18 its not such a bug event, they have had a drink before, so they cant go off the rails all in one go.

An example is where i come from in Sicily, you can enter a nightclub at any age, the thing is, the people under 18 and over 18 do not abuse the power to drink, they stay out of trouble because they have drank alcohol before and can control themselves.

Here, when people 18, it all comes straighta t once, and because they havnt been to a nightclub before, they make the most of it, sometimes too much of it.

So my overall opinion is that putting an age limit on these things, amkes violence worse.

Not sure if I have made sense here, but I get what i mean in my head.

pinkmichk 05-10-2008 12:26 PM
no because it will just make far more teens etc taking from parents shoplifting getting older friends etc to buy it for them so they can get drunk in the park or whereever which i think would be far more harmful than leaving it where it is
cos its def a case of what you cant have you want more of

Kate.. 05-10-2008 12:28 PM
No I don't think so. I mean lets be honest. Even with the drinking age at 18 there are still millions of teenagers drinking under the age(me included) and personally I think it should be moved to 16.

supernoodles! 05-10-2008 12:57 PM
heeeell no,i waited long enough to be legal already

Nononooo. All us underage people would drink more just to spite them. Well I would anyway
It's like the smoking law, it hasn't changed anything, I and all of my smoker friends still smoke, I don't know anyone who gave up because of it

Dear god no

Jake! 05-10-2008 08:07 PM
I think we've established the answer to teh question, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Killian 05-10-2008 08:59 PM
It doesn't matter, people below the age of twenty will drink (and get drunk) anyway. I'm just being realistic.

Rory 05-10-2008 09:00 PM
Bitch if it's 21 in the US, you should suffer to and have yours be raised to 21.

Xander 05-10-2008 09:05 PM
Yes, Although It wouldn't stop younger people from drinking eitherway.

Fom 05-10-2008 09:11 PM
The only success we would get from this is being even more up America's bottom. We need to stop following every bleeding thing they do!
