Beer at age 18 is fine for me, but no hard liquor. I am always very hesitant to losen up drinking laws for young people. I see enough of my peers wasting their youth away on closing down the bar every night, in otherwords, they have no lives, either that, or they are not creative enough to find something else to do.

Plus drinking a lot isn't good for one's health. It makes people fat and ruins their liver. Plus, it is a waste of money that could go elsewhere.

Those are great reasons for you to abstain, but not a single reason for you to choose for others to abstain.

It's not your health, your liver or your money you're talking about. It's someone else's.

It is not, I repeat NOT, the state's job to worry about anyone's money, health, weight or liver.

It is not, I repeat NOT, the state's job to worry about anyone's creativity or "wasted" youth.

What makes you think it's any of your business to decide what someone else can drink in the first place?

And these don't apply to 22 year olds?
