...to 18.
To lower or not to lower. Discuss...
I feel first and foremost if alch is legal in teh first place, i think that it should really be lowered to 18. My reason hands down is because if one is old enough to take a bullet for my country and die, he/she should be able to drink a beer.
Totally agree with you, should be 18

I don't think starting a drinking career at 18 is a good thing nor do I think 18 year olds should be taking a bullet either. Kids are stupid enough when they drink, I wasn't much smarter at 21 just drunk more often:o

hah believe me when I say I did all my drinkinig before i turned 21. I hardly even drank when i was 20. I have 1 or 2 every couple weeks. (i know tihs is hardly the case for most kids/young adults)
this is a solid answer and I couldnt agree more. But since they are not pondering changing the enlistment age then I really thinkg atleast our troops whom are under age should be able to have some beers...

18 it should be!!!!!!!!!!! If you can fight for your country , I wanna have a beer with you!!!!!!!!!
At least here in Wisconsin there is no drinking age 'if' you're with your legal guardian and or spouse :p
Of course they have to say yes they want you to have a drink.

I agree 18 should be the legal age. If you can sign up for the military you should be able to have a beer
I think a compromise would be to allow military exception without lowering it across the board. I agree with Agent on not lowering it though im not sure a 21 year old is much wiser than an 18 year old when it comes to making intelligent decisions.
