But one thing also you must known,
Everything you posted has been discussed, voted, debated, voted, discussed, debated, debated, debated, for decades by congress so theres a reason everythings at where its at now.
its not like theres just this one guy that sits in his office saying "Today!, I want to make the drinking age 21, tabacco age 18, and driving age 15!".

it would make sense to lets people drink @ a yonger age to get it out of their system...
like when ya got your license... you drove your car non stop... burt up a hundred bucks in $$$ that you made your friends give you...
so by the time someone is old enough to drive drinkin would be a been there done that thing... its not so special cause you can drink whenever you want anyway...
And it just doesnt make sense that you are an adult but are restricted by laws on making your own decesions on alcohol...
I'm not saying that the current laws are wrong or should be changed... They just would have more of a GOOD effect if they were different.
I know kids that drink and drive...
I have a good friend from germany... He is 17... In germany he can legally drink but cannot drive until the age of 18... So he came here and got his license here to have it transfer to a german licence... well, me him and some other buds would drink and he would not even look at his car... he gave the keys to his dad for extra insurance...
I guess the germans have done at least one thing right... lmao

I heard they once wanted to raise the drinking age to 25, that would of sucked. But like I said, just because your 18 it dosn't really mean anything, Like if you come down here to miami, most clubs now are 21+ for guys, you need to be 24+ to rent a car, To be a congress men I think you need to be like 35, Just because your 18 and an "Adult", it dosn't really mean anything.
