It is time for this archaic rule to be changed. An adult should be defined in the same manner for all situations. If it is 18 for voting, military service, contracts, accountability in court etc... then it should be 18 for drinking as well.

"The principal problem of 2009 is not drunken driving. The principal problem of 2009 is clandestine binge drinking."

" The problem today is different. The problem today is reckless, goal-oriented alcohol consumption that all too often takes place in clandestine locations, where enforcement has proven frustratingly difficult. Alcohol consumption among young adults is not taking place in public places or public view or in the presence of other adults who might help model responsible behavior. But we know it is taking place.

If not in public, then where? The college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative know where. It happens in "pre-gaming" sessions in locked dorm rooms where students take multiple shots of hard alcohol in rapid succession, before going to a social event where alcohol is not served. It happens in off-campus apartments beyond college boundaries and thus beyond the presidents' authority; and it happens in remote fields to which young adults must drive. "

yes

People are hugely oppose to lowering the drinking age in America. Maybe when they come out with collision detection systems support will grow, but right now they blame underage drinkers for everything under the sun, and attribute all the lives saved since 1985 to the over 21 law.

It's just hypocritical, in my opinion, for one adult to say that they should be able to drink and yet deny that to another adult.

I think it is beyond hypocritical. It is unConstitutional in my opinion to discriminate based on age. As this article points out, binge drinking has increased or stayed the same for the various demographics. The point that they are still going to be drinking, but instead of being around other adults in a bar who might have a positive influence on consumption levels they are going to fields/friends homes/dorm rooms etc... where there is no supervision.

I think that parents should be allowed to introduce alcohol to their kids so they can ensure responsibility. I think we are stupid about drinking and sex in the US.
