implying we did not all drink underage in the first place?
Trust them to go off with guns and shoot at people, but damnit you are not smart enough to drink some booze.
OP is right, it's full retard.
Voting age should be 21 again. -except for the military.
18 year olds are way too immature to be deciding what happens to the nation's wallet.
Listen, it was once 18.
What they figured out was that way too many drunk driving accidents were from kids under 21.
They could save a lot of lives by either raising driving to 21 or alcohol to 21.
So they picked the best option

tfw you could (till recently at least) drink beer in the Netherlands by 16 with no legal issues whatsoever

I don't know anyone who did
Probably because I'm white and don't live in a ghetto or backwoods country side

it's never a good option when it implies restricting one's personal freedom
>>66913624
This always struck me as odd, until you compare drunk driving deaths (accidental) to accidental firearm deaths at age 18. Not that the government should play nanny, but drunks kill people on the road. Especially young drunks. I'd like an exception for armed services though. They see some shit, they are going to drink. I'd rather they do it at a bar with comrades than hiding at home, alone.
>>66913624
Has to do with early feminists banning alcohol and then the incomplete repeal. Blame women.

The government should not get to overrule the liberty of individuals for the "greater good". No doubt many lives would be saved by banning guns, that does not justify it.
Wait til youre in your late 20's, youll be wondering why the age isnt higher.
I remember thinking the same way. "I have to wait til im fucking 16 to get my drivers license? 21 to drink?"
Now i look back at that and im baffled we let children drive 2 ton pieces of metal.
Raise the voting age too for fucks sake.
Why are we letting teenagers with zero life experience or knowledge of the real world vote for our leaders?
Those little shits are why bernie or hillary have any support at all.

>>66914210
The fuck are you talking about? I grew up in the upper-middle class and literally everyone was drinking. Mostly everyone was doing drugs of some sort as well, usually weed, pills, and sometimes coke.
>>66915367
I've never heard such a backwards criticism of lowering the drinking age. Teens kill themselves every weekend from drunk driving because there's no supervised area for them to do it legally like at a bar, and kids take stupid chances to get home without getting in trouble. There were less drunk driving incidents when the age was 18 because kids could get drunk with their parents or at a bar where someone could take their keys.
I bet you think alcohol is degenerate because you never were invited to parties in high school lmao

it was simply less crowded what made it easier to handle, also, less threads in general => less off-topic threads, not much changed apart from that
>>66916341

That's not the only thing which changed.
Of course you wouldn't, know you've been here less than 3 months, haven't you? Did you know that there used to be no flags and no IDs?

We just don't want you fagging up the bars, puking all over the place and putting Lil Wayne on the jukebox.
When I was under 21 I thought the same thing. Now that I'm 33 I wish they would raise it again to 25.

Jesus, I was a basement dwelling nerd in my teens, and even then I had a few buddies who could sneak me and the gang (of nerds) some alcohol.
How much of a shut-in were you?
>>66913924
Dumbass, the reason the legal age is 21 is because when you get you come of age you start buying it for your underage friends
A 21 year old is much less likely to buy alcohol for a 12 year old than an 18 year old will be
>>66916317
Because bars stop adults from driving drunk right?
Because letting kids go to bars will certainly stop them drinking anywhere unsupervised, you know kids love being supervised.
I drink and its why i know its degenerate, its legal poison that impairs our rational thinking, kills our brains and causes a slew of criminal activity, addiction, dead beat parents and a million other things. Advocating for a lower drinking age just proves youre some upset teen that cant go get wasted.
>>66917965
I've been 21 for the past year and I still realize how retarded it is to have the age set to 21. Everyone I know who has lived in another country or immigrated to the U.S. says that youth drinking isn't a big deal at all because it's not some coveted forbidden fruit like it is over here. Kids will always drink regardless of the age limit, might as well offer safe spaces to do it legally rather than let them die in a field from binge drinking too much vodka.
>>66914681

>>66913624
>Land of the free

I love the US but fuck this issue always triggered me. Its so dumb.
>>66918858
You gotta realize just how stupid and irresponsible 18 year olds are, giving them a safe space isnt going to solve more problems than it causes.
Youre going to have addicts at a much younger age, youre going to put booze in the hands of kids who will much more willingly distribute it to younger kids, who will just drive drunk and die anyway.
We mature a shitload in those few short years between 18 and 21.
I just dont see safe spaces saving that many lives.
For every teen that dies from drinking because he couldnt go to a bar, millions of other teens arent drinking because they cant get their hands on it.
>>66913624
The reasoning was that the majority of 18 to 21-year-olds were committing the majority of drunk driving cases. When the law passed, DUI cases dropped over 50%. People can cite that this doesn't occur in their countries all they like, but driving in the US is not the same as other countries.
>Millennials
>Lower drinking age to 18 so I can drink my problems away in my safe space you shitlord
>>66920002
I agree that teens aren't the smartest but at the same time every other country seems to be fine with 18 being the common age to drink, with no major issues of underage deaths attributed to alcohol. Perhaps the issue goes beyond alcohol and how we handle our kids growing up. I know that even as a 16 year old I wanted to drink just because I knew I wasn't allowed.

>>66920733
Yeah i dunno, those other countries probably have different circumstances, less crowded roads/drivers etc. Dont get me wrong, i see your point, and it might lower DUIs to an extent, just not sure its worth the other problems.
Anyway, good debating with you.

What the fuck why is that spam filtered now?
If the legal drinking age were 18 then high schoolers would be all up in booze more so than they already are. Graduation rates would plummet.
We can't handle alcohol at a young age like other people can in other countries.

>If the legal drinking age were 18 then high schoolers would be all up in booze more so than they already are
Not necessarily. Booze is "cool" for underage drinkers because it is forbidden, and they tend to binge on it when they can get it. This is what causes most of the problems.
If it was readily available they would be under less peer pressure to drink and less likely to binge on it.
>Hey! Hey guys! Check this out, I am drinking a BEER! Guys? Guys this is a beer! Why is no one paying attention to me?
Take away the allure of the forbidden fruit and it suddenly looks ridiculous.

Personally I think the age limit should be 19. This would keep it out of most high schoolers aka new drivers hands (legally at least) and allow people in college become alcoholics legally, and let kids who never went to college start drowning out their sorrows a few years earlier.
