Since the drinking age went to 21, they start on liquor when they begin drinking.

There's a lot to be said for the disaster of our drinking laws in this country. In many states, even parents are prohibited from serving alcohol to their minor children in the safety of their own homes.

Instead of learning responsible drinking habits at home from their parents (many of whom were raised with far less restrictive alcohol laws) young adults today are forced to wait until they've moved far away from home to learn irresponsible drinking habits from their friends.

And this is what happens.

We learned to drink on 3.2 beer in NC. By the time we got to liquor, we knew the perils.

“There’s a lot to be said for the disaster of our drinking laws in this country. “

Too bad there were no senators with enough balls to say, “Screw your highway money. We’ll fix our OWN potholes!” Repeal of the 17th Amendment would be a good step! I agree with the rest of your post;)
