Anyway, I'm off topic ... back to drinking!
Jesus drank wine, why can't adults??

Who said adults can't drink wine? I'm all for lowering the drinking age, remember? I know, that was ten minutes ago. Must be time for a refill.

They're allowed to stay with their parents health insurance coverage up to age 26 now. See, it's a heath issue. If anything the drinking age has to be increased.

this tired old subject again? if you dont like the drinking age where you live, then work to change it. at 18 most people still feel like nothing can kill them. that attitude starts to go away at around age 21 fortunately.

Still don't understand why you would allow an 18 year old to enlist and sacrifice his life. Why you would allow an 18 year old to vote or operate an automobile.

Seems like a contradiction.
