License to drink or license to drive?

Question

if at age 18 you could choose a provisional 3 year license to drive or provisional 3 year license to buy alcohol, but not both, what would you do?

Answer 1

Drive and then get someone to buy the alcohol for me... that is what goes on now.

Answer 2

Drive of course.  Anyone else can buy the alcohol.  Just don't mix the 2...

Answer 3

You need to figure out what your priorities are. Do you need to buy alcohol so you can get drunk, or do you need to drive a car to get to work and make a living? And, how are you going to get the money to buy alcohol if you can't get to work?

Me, I would rather drive to work than sit at home all day drunk.

*EDIT* - It all depends on where you live. If you live in the city, there is a good chance you have public transportation available to you. But I live in a rural area, well outside walking and biking distance to my job (and very little business within that distance), and no public transportation.
