Since we have apparently decided to draw a line somewhere lets go with 13. Anyone who is in their teens is an adult and can do anything.
Drinking Alcohol Under Age of 21 (Underage Drinking) Not Prohibited in 33 U.S. States
All states in the U.S. prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone under the age of 21 as well as its purchase by such individuals. However, 33 states (two out of three) permit so-called underage persons to consume alcohol or to consume it under certain circumstances.
Stealing my ideas again eh?
Catherine, is that you?
(uh, that's my 13 yo daughter, thought she may be posting on here, sounds just like her sometimes............ )
Is that what we call the tail wagging the dog?
what's Even More Frightening Is They Are Probably At Work As Well!
thh!
Inside joke. I don't expect an outsider like you to get it.
I'd say raise the drinking age. We need things to look forward to after the age of 21. The only other rite of passage in your entire American life will be retirement, and that just makes you feel old. We need to find more ways to give more things to you and let you do more things in between voting and retirement.
I hope you're kidding. Civil liberties is not the right place to start with "for the good of society" judgements. I don't think most 21yr olds are responsible enough to drink, vote, or live on their own. However, the law should not punish everyone for the few.
There is a quote that applies here: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer." - Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England
This is still fundamentally the basis for American law. Honestly, I think alcohol, as a drug, should not be allowed in public, same with cigarettes and all other drugs/narcotics. However, all of them should be allowed on private property.
I'm not kidding. Our current system gives us nothing to look forward to from the ages of 25 do the age of 55+. There is just a big gap of drudgery. That is why people get old.
