What is your opinion on congress possibly changing the drinking age to 18 instead of 21?

This is a very hot topic, it has died down after a few months but it is still a topic in congress.

i might make things better i think some people drink cause they think that are gettinmg away with something it gives them a rush and and if theres no rush there would be less drinking

Here is a 60 minutes video about this issue from a year ago:

Go for it, i think we should make it at 19 though so people don't drink before school and such. More like canada i guess you could say.

[4Riley]

i don't think that changing the law would really make a difference

[0stein]

i dont think they should change it.

Well you see chaning the legal drinking age to 18 would deffinitly cut down on the Mip's ect. but would take the fun out of hiding and runing from the cops.

I don't think that the drinking age needs to be changed. High school and college students drink anyway, and if the drinking age is changed there will be younger people drinking as well, that doesn't need to happen. It's not good for you.

I think the legal drinking age of 21 should be kept, at 21. People need to mature and grow up before being able to drink legally anyways. Also, it helps students in college focus, although some still drink.

I think it would be cool but I really dont think that its going to happen. There is research and stuff out there that says your brain isnt even fully developed at age 21 so I dont think they are going to change it because it will cause more damage to the brain at age 18.
