Drugs in the US

phildozer @phildozer (284) • United States 27 Jul 09

when it comes to drugs of all sorts, we are one of the stingiest countries in the world, but is it really benefiting us? The age required to buy alcohol is 21, but people can enlist, vote, drive, and smoke at age 18? The war on...

Should the drinking age in the UK be put up to 21?

bryanhodgson @bryanhodgson (10) 15 Jun 09

I have heard rumours that the drinking age in the UK is going up to 21. I don't know whether I agree with this or not. I know if I was 18 I would definitely disagree but now that I'm older, seeing the night time violence today, I...

Should Active Duty Military Members be able to Drink, no matter there age?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 29 May 09

The arguments for letting all active duty military members drink are often based around the idea that servicemembers are somehow more responsible than others in their age group. After all, doesn't basic training pound a sense...

Should We Lower the Drinking age?

whimsystoryteller @whimsystoryteller (1743) • United States 18 Aug 08

Our local news station had a poll on this question today. I am glad to say that 67% said to keep it at 21. And, 21% said to lower it to 18. I'm assuming the 21% are 18 or under or around that age because anyone who has lived long...

Drinking age too high/low?

ellepo @ellepo (11) 14 Dec 07

Do you think the drinking age is at the right level in your country? Here in the UK it is 18 and there have been talks of raising it higher but my friends generally think that's ridiculous. However in the US and Japan it is 21 (I...

Your opinion on drinking age in the U.S.?

peachypie @peachypie (15) • Germany 19 Feb 07

Do you think the drinking age in the U.S. should be lowered? Or do you think 21 is good (or even too young)? I personally think that 21 is ridiculous. In Ameria, you're only allowed to drink if you're 21 and up but an 18 year old...

smf210 @smf210 (102) • United States 2 Dec 06

When people discuss the drinking age, one reply is inevitable: It works in Europe. The truth is that many things work in Europe that do not work in the United states. I am not taking a stand on whether we should change the...

Should the drinking age of 21 be lowered or highered?

ashlee832002 @ashlee832002 (424) • United States 5 Nov 06

I have been asked this question before, and I'm not sure. When I was like 18 I wished I was able to drink like the law was before where you could drink at 18. Yet, now that I'm older than 21 I feel 21 is a great age. I think 20...
