What do you mean by 18 or 21 in Denmark we can buy alcohol at the age of 16 and normally start when we are 14 or 15 years old

In New Zealand we can benefit anything besides entry into a casino at 18. It would be even better to live in Australia where you just have to be 18 in order to do anything age restricted. So I think if our society does not crumble at such an age it should be fine in the USA.

I was speaking for countries that had the law of the drinking age being 21. Here in america for some reason it is 21. However you can drive at 16, smoke at 18, but drink at 21 it doesn't make since, if anything all three should be the same age, or at the very least drinking at 20 it would just make more since you know 16, 18, 20.

I guess there is a good majority of members here that don't live i the us. You lucky fuckers. lol

Haha, this is a good thread.
However here in Australia it's 18.

Thought the age requirement has never stoped anyone I know from drinking.
You can get you Learners Licence at 16 here too.

We can sign up to fight for our country, and possibly to our death, at age 18 in my state, but we cannot drink alcohol. There is definitely something wrong with this.

I think the drinking age should be lower because turning 18 entails receiving the rights and responsibilities of adulthood to vote, serve on juries, get married, sign contracts, join the military (which includes taking on the responsibilities of life and death) and be prosecuted as adults. Adults from the age of 18 should therefore also be trusted to make decisions about alcohol consumption.

defiantly 18. Theres no point for waiting till your 21 because most teens do it at like 16 because they don't want to wait.

That's not really the issue though, at 18 you're an adult and an adult should be allowed to make these kind of decisions for themselves. 21 is a ridiculous legal drinking age.
