Thread: lowering the drinking age to 17.

  1. #1

    Default lowering the drinking age to 17.

    It came to my attention from another thread about drinking. Say if your 17 your eligible to fight and serve for your country, and why not drink also?

    I agree, they should raise the age of eligibility for armed service to 21.

    I find it ironic that at 17, you're old enough to go to war but you can't vote.

    Younger people may get in more accidents and such when they legally drink.
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    Lowering the drinking age is a horrible idea. Doing so would mean that highschool kids would be drunk while at school. More, younger kids would be drinking illegally. And As stated above more accidents would be happening with all those drivers ed. fresh drivers.
