Legal drinking age: 21, or 18?

[Bryce]

Do you believe the legal drinking age should be 21, or 18? I personally believe that 18 is the appropriate age to drink. You're old enough to put your name on a dotted line that could fuck you over for the rest of your life, old enough to "consent" to having sex, old enough to get married, old enough to get drafted and be sent to die in some far off land for an old fart who doesn't even know you exist, and old enough to spend the rest of your life in prison if you do something heinous. Why should an alcoholic beverage require you be 21? Makes no sense.

[jackinthebox]

It should be any age. 5 year olds used to drink alcohol because it was cleaner than regular water in the 1900s

 

[mustfye]

doesnt matter abt the legal age nga everyone here drinks at like 14

Ok but this thread wasn't oriented towards pros and cons, it was about which age you think it should be. There's 2 answers here.

Do you seriously expect someone to say 21 is the better legal age for drinking? It's like asking "Hmm should a person drink water or not?" And then acting like a faggot when people say your question is retarded

I know they did it cause of an obvious correlation with drunk drivers but that doesn't negate the you're already old enough to do x and x argument

Either make it 18 or raise the others you listed

did i not just say there was little to none alcohol?

 

[tomahawk]

If I could I'd ban it
But it's just impossible ethanol is too simple of a molecule

Meh. Kind of one of those "ban guns and violence will disappear" things. Ban alcohol, humans will find an alternative. You can't get rid of someone's desire to be inebriated.

 

[jackinthebox]

What’s the actual percent? i doubt it’s none. Sounds revisionist.

Exactly, there are just so many drugs better than alcohol, that was my point

 

[Trevor Wonter]

search it up. kids used to drink "small beer" which was 0.5%–2.5% ABV. LITTLE TO NONE like i said.

 

[jackinthebox]

I’m sure that’s enough to inebriate a kid. Have you ever seen short skinny women drink? They get knocked out fast.

 

[fedecope]

who cares dude all kids can drink and the law dont do shit

 

[Bryce]

For a child who's barely even 4 feet tall and weighs less than 100 pounds that's the equivalent of 3 shots of Vodka for an adult.

Again not the point holy shit

 

[Trevor Wonter]

its literally not. they were rationing hard so kids could barely drink and an adult man or woman could literally never get drunk from 0.5%–2.5% ABV as your body metabolizes it so fast.

Kids drink at 15, the age of legal drinking doesn't matter.

Here kids start drinking at 14-15 and when they turn 18 (polish legal drinking age) they celebrate it by drinking more.

It was a replacement for water. A normal beer, which would definitely get small women and by extension kids tipsy, is 5%. So 2 cups of small beer gets you there. I’m sure they built a tolerance for it but what’s so hard to believe that they drank this stuff,

Is it just blasphemous in your eyes, I don’t get it. People in the 19 th century drank a loot of alcohol.

ight so make it 14. im being serious

you're missing the point. im saying they drank beer with basically no alcohol because they could only drink that. lowering age of buying and consuming alcohol now isn't the same as theres no need to drink alcohol for nourishment. alcohol is purely for fun now so it wouldn't make sense

 

[BigBallsLarry]

You're right tho, i never understood the 21 thing in America, when everything gets legal in adulthood but for some reason you need to wait till 21 for alcohol specifically, seems weird

The actual justification for drinking age is to stop people from getting drunk. Whether you’re drinking for hydration or not doesn’t stop you from possibly getting drunk.

Anyways kids (at least ones that aren’t terminally online), get drunk already. It’s incredibly gay for cops to arrest kids for drinking alcohol. Many other countries in Europe drink way earlier. So who cares.

Thing is you lot don't have a bunch of retarded browns and blacks racking up violence and disorder like the US does. In a country where everyone falls under the same ethnicity, IQ, cultural norms, common decency, etc. the risk of "drunk drivers" or other reckless behavior diminishes because everyone collectively agrees on acceptable standards and is smart enough to abide by them.

The leftists/wokes of the past did a campaign to set it to 21 because drunk driving deaths. They also managed to ban it for a while.

Natural selection bro

 

[Hess]

Even if it was 21 teens at 18 would still be drinking anyway and their lives would be ruined for stupid laws like that, better to just keep it at 18

 

[Bryce]

I'm all for the ethnic monkeys offing themselves in their own shithole countries (which they do regularly) but I hate to see them take the valuable lives of white kids.

Black violence is typically kept among blacks, brown among brown, etc

The law isn’t even real. Cops don’t seriously enforce it. if u weren’t a complete loser in high school in the U.S. you got drunk

they don't do anything to kids with alcohol except confiscate and call parents. lowering age for alcohol just makes kids drink more and alcohol is still horrible for you intoxication or not.

 

[ExxtasyMaxxer]

It should be 16 or so, people these days are pussified

 

[SoundnVision]

Should be illegal to everyone
The most destructive mind altering drug

These kids will drink anyways. Ironically because drinking alcohol is associated with being social, alcohol drinkers tend to be higher iq, as anti social people tend to be lower iq.

did u not even read the part where i said alcohol is still bad for you? getting liver failure isn't very high iq.

that's only if u become a chronic drinker, taking it when you go out isn't that bad, eg once a week
