The article mentions underage drinking. Solution: lower the drinking age to 18. If you can be drafted, you should be allowed to consume booze. Just enforce it so that if it's in backpacks, like the article says, that's public drinking. But lowering the age to 18 will allow those of that age to go to bars instead of concealing it and roaming around residential neighborhoods.

Won't happen, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) would have fits. That group, their supporters and others fought long hard battles to get states to raise legal drinking age to 21.

The article references people age 17 and under. How low would you like to make the legal drinking age?
Isnt/wasnt this common in most cities? I remember being 19 and we took my friends younger brother who was 16 into Philly to get Cheesesteaks around midnight. The police rolled up and wrote him a summons.
Either way nothing good happens after 11pm when youre uounger than 17, so completely agree with this.

Thing is now kids have all sorts of devices and tech that just wasn't around back in day. Yeah there were always spots where a crowd or certain gang pretty much always showed up. This and word was spread about that such and such would be the "spot" for a given night. But today thanks to cell/smart phones (which virtually all teens have today), it's easier then heck to get a flash mob.

Years ago the Feds stepped in and threatened to withhold highway funds from states that kept the drinking age under 21.
