If It was upto me.....

Drinking age would be raised to 25. This would be attempt to eliminate the booze and binge culture. The reason so many people get drunk out of their faces is because society is in such a depressing state. Fix society and people will not feel need to drink themselves into oblivion.

Smoking would be banned and made a class A drug. It is the most harmful drug on the planet yet it is legal. Why? Tobacco companies and tax. I am a 20 a day smoker myself.

I would make driver's license only available to families and specialised professions. Improve public transport. Help the environment and cut down on traffic congestion.

For age of consent having a set age is stupid. 20yo guy with 15yo girl is illegal, yet a 55yo man with a 17yo girl is legal? Which do you think is the more morally wrong? It should be a sliding scale based on age difference, as you get older the scale increases exponentially.
