If you believe that lowering the drinking age is a great idea, visit the UK and Germany.

My sibling returned from the UK. Lived in London. Said that the rate of young men suffering from liver disease is stunning. Puke all over the sidewalks and roadways. Beer and hard liquor for breakfast is the norm.

I’m sure younger drinkers will be completely responsible. Just ask my dead brother-in-law. A young drunk driver killed him and another passenger.

Brilliant idea.

I didn't say it was a great idea. It's just not something that would drive me to the ballot box in a frenzy one way or another.

My wife is a British citizen who spends a minimum of one month a year in England. Her last visit (she recently returned to America) was for 3 months. All of her family from her mother and brother to her children and grandchildren still live there. She has never mentioned puke on the sidewalks and alcohol for breakfast. I get the fact you don't like underage drinking but gross exaggerations don't help make your case.

I’m sure younger drinkers will be completely responsible.

Probably no more or less responsible than anyone else who drinks. Do you think they are responsible enough to pick up an automatic weapon and go fight for you?

Cellphone drivers kill people too and they don’t restrict their bad driving habits to a window of 10pm-3am.
