I think that drinking depends more on how you drink than the age. But legal age to drink here in pubs and restaurants is 21.

@Senne0S Sure. That´s why I think that it is better if children are taught to drink a reasonable amount.

Welcome to MyLot! I am not sure what I think about the drinking age. Here, in the US it is 21 years old. However, I know in many plaCES IN Europe it is (like you said) 18. Not sure how I feel about it. I know when I was 18 it was a treat when I went to Sweden and got to legally drink. Lol.

I think 18 is the perfect age, because that's when you become an adult (In Holland, I don't know if it's also like that in other countries.)

It's 18 here and I don't want to change it. Even if the government does, minors still drink anyway.

I think 21 is good enough though in reality, more and more drink before they reach that age. If the 21 is the legal age, they can go to bars and all while those who are not yet 21 will just have to go somewhere private with their friends if they want to drink.

It's 21 here, but I had some when I was 8 when I was in Austria visiting. I didn't like it so the next time was 18. :P

I think 21 is fine, lots of 18 years old are still very immature and will consume it irresponsively causing them to intoxicate themselves or crash while driving drunk
