Raising the legal drinking age

[Rankor]

I live in the middle of nowhere
Where drinking is more of a hobby than a Addiction

Never in my entire life have i seen a 12-13 year old drinking. if infact you know of 12-13 year olds who habitually drink....The parents failed

you live in america, it's different there. i take it you've never lived in another country with a lower drinking age either?

growing up in germany i had my first encounter with alcohol at 13, at house parties whenever parents were gone. its quite bad in germany because kids start drinking at really early ages, but if they are raised in decent environments and have some common sense, i believe it does more good than harm. By the time they can legally drive they know their limits, they know how much they can drink and the dangers of alcohol, giving them a more responsible and respectful attitude towards it than most american teenagers i know.

added to that i can drink more than most americans in their 20's devilishmartass2

only sucks how the government thinks i'm mature enough to drink yet and is forcing me to wait till 2009 to be able to legally do it ><
