Answer 1

no it dosnt make a diffrense if somone want to get drunk he wil no matter the law-and if not again-no matter the law.

Answer 2

Sure. You start paying taxes, working, fighting for our country, dying, etc. You should have the full benefits.

Answer 3

YES

It was 18 when I was a kid and we survived. Have fun while yer young. Drinking is an immature decision no matter how old you are, anyway.

Another bonus: Girls Gone Wild !!!

Answer 4

Honestly, i see to many kids my age [16] that get wasted. So, in my opinion it doesn't matter whether they change it or not. At least, to some extent... No, I don't think changing it is a good idea because a lot of teens drive like jerks from h**l and giving alcohol to them will just add to accidents caused by reckless driving and DUI's. If that law will be passed, then they should at least add a curfew to when they can have they're last drink until age 21 or older.

Answer 5

No.

18 year old's are simply not mature enough to handle alcohol.

And why should we listen to a bunch of college professors who have never spent a day in the real world?

Answer 6

yesssssssssss ! madd kidss drink beforee they 21 anwayss so if they make it a law then alot of kids wouldnt be breakin the law

Answer 7

Absolutely!

You are an adult at 18, therefore you should have all the rights of an adult!

Answer 8

Yes.  You can vote for your country and fight for your country at 18.  How does drinking somehow require more responsibility than that?
