Okay, suitable identification for drinking is a valid ID showing age 21 or a military ID. I can live with that.
I think that’s a great idea. Whatever the country does with the drinking age, no person in the armed forces should be denied a drink when they are out there fighting for us.
Why 18? Don’t these addictive personalities start to abuse sex, drugs and alchohol at 12? I think these college presidents have better things to do with their resources than their failed crusade to suppress the party culture at the colleges. Maybe society should follow their august example. Those extra three years of amnesty to drinkers would probably save their institutions millions they could spend on responsible entertainment.
The South Carolina legislation had a bill that proposed exactly that. It was abandoned after the feds made it clear that we would risk our highway funds if anyone under 21 was allowed to drink.
Problem solved. Great idea!
A group of University Presidents wants to lower the drinking age. Reason, in my mind, is that, since underage binge drinking is an epidemic on campus, they would rather brush the problem under the rug instead of being part of the solution.
How about a Selective Service card?
