I think 18 is good. i like 18 so that soldiers can drink, they are protecting our country. If anyone deserved a drink it would be them.

Bring me statistics from places on Car Crashes and teens in places where there is no legal drinking age. I think that the legal drinking age should be at 18 personally though. I like that there is a legal drinking age though becuase, not only are kids not developed, they don't even need to drink that much to get drunk.

Well, if u look at it, u find a lot of 30+ people drinking like crazy and causing accidents. Dont they know better? Sure they do....also a lot of the teens know that. I guess its just the adrenalin rush.

I think it should stay 21. Keeps insurance rate low.

It should stay at 21. If it gets lowered there will be a higher car accident rate, and too many kids getting arrested for doing more stupid things than they already do. Pregnancy rate would go up. It should actually be hired to 25 in my opnion.

Since I'm not a drinker, I really cant judge these kids. But to my opinion, some of these teens are more mature than their numerical age and some arent

"Adults" aged 21 are hardly what you call responsible with drinking as it is. Lowering the age would only drive up more problems in the teenage community. I say it's perfect as is.

I'm in Ontario and the legal drinking age is 19, for many that's ok, and for others they will drink irresposibly - but often those that drink too much have been doing it before they were legal anyway.
