You know what, if you want to lower the age, how about this..... I think we should not allow greeks until they are 21, they can pledge at 20 so by the time they cross they will be 21. then you dont have to worry about the alcohol issue
By the way in france legal age is 18 but they are more MATURE, can handle it and know their limit as opposed to here in USA with so much AA and drunk driving. Imagine if they could drink younger. Many people sneak alcohol at home or go to Mexico or Canada to drink, do they do it in moderation? no they get drunk and get themselves trouble with the law or their parents. I am speaking in general. I am opposed to bringing the drinking age down, I also think we should raise the smoking age to 21.
