rant about laws...
lol... Been up stugying and cant sleep...
But it blows my mind how the government chooses at what ages you can and cannot do things...
Tobaco - 19 (dont know why they changed that
)
drinkin - 21
driving - 15-17 (depends on state)
LEGAL ADULT - 18
Minimum military - 18
why? there is no rhyme or reason to any of it?
I can risk my life but cant drink or even have a smoke (or chew, lol)? I am considered an adult but cant make my own decisions on alcohol and tobaco?
In Europe the drinking age (if any) is extremely low.
So... Your 21rst birthday... you drive out to a bar, party, get drunk, and possible drive home.
If drinking (legaly) wasnt so awesome by the time you were old enough to drive you probably wouldnt drive drunk.
Who the F comes up with this crap?
people are so damn stupid... i wish they would change these laws around so that they were practical and had at least some purpose...

Are you still in high school?? or college? cuz high school dont matter
as long as you get the heck out of there and you dont plan on going to harvard or yale colleges dont really care, same goes when you get your degree, your employer is not going to look at each and every one of your grades

Who freakin' cares! It's not like you can't get it no matter what age you are. Are you that much of a neck that you want to drink, dip, and smoke when you are 15? Go over to your uncle Billy's house and get some of his Skoal and throw back a Busch while you puff on a Marlboro.
And this BS about serving your country but can't drink..in my opinion the ones truly serving the country are the ones overseas fighting the war right now which means you don't have to be 21 to drink...after you just said (Greg) that you can be much younger in other countries.
There are reasons for certain laws and they have worked (somewhat) for years so why change them and make it ok for younger people to buy the stuff? GOD with the immaturity of kids and irresponsibility these days it should be damned near 30 or NEVER for some people to drink. I could go on and on but I will spare you...

If you wanna get all technical about it, How is it that you are old enough to join the army at age 18. They train you to kill, you carry fire arms and go to combat but you are still not man enough to drink until the age of 21.
...I guess they think you are old enough to kill at 18 but not old enough to handle your liquor!

so you are saying that younger people are TOO immature to drink etc but are old enough to be considered adults?
That was my point... It would make more sense that the drinking age be before the driving age and legal adulthood after all (after drink, drive, etc ages)
Get a grip jerk face

Drinking age before 16? Are you a f-ing idiot?
Am I saying that younger people are too immature to drink? Abso-****in-lutely in most cases. A lot of adults are too immature to drink also so I can't take either side. All I am saying is there are reasons things are the way they are so deal with it.
Are you just mad that you can't run down to the Piggly Wiggly and pick of a case of beer or what?
What are you? 19? I am 27 so maybe I am old and I get bent out of shape for a reason when I see teenagers like you complaining about drinking age and what not.
Being an adult has nothing to do with drinking. If you think that is what being an adult is about then you need to stay in them thar woods and have a cold one up in yer tree stand.

also reason why you have to be 21 to drink is because usually anyone under that age has a way lower tolerance to liquor, so if they had 18 year olds getting drunk all of them would get fvcking trashed, its bad enough already how many young guys get DUIs and wrap them selfs around trees every weekend driving drunk, Im not 21 yet, I love drinking, but i am in no favor of them lowering the drinking age to 18.
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!".
