I think America should lower the age to 18.

The maturity level would increase.

Lowering the drinking age to 18 would allow younger students to socialize more with older students, allowing older students to model responsible, more mature social drinking behavior. Over time, this would help to change the culture surrounding drinking among our young people.

Oh, this is rich. Like, obviously the PARENTS have failed to do this, but by lowering the drinking age, these self appointed older student guardians will do the job! HA!

I guess I was lucky, as Texas gradually increased the drinking age, and I was just ahead by a few months, so I've never had the bummer feeling of being a "college student" and forced to illegally purchase alcohol..

When this unreasonable law turns students into lawbreakers when they drink, it causes respect for the law to decline.

Um, yeah. Riiiight. Like, when underage drinking is outlawed, only youthful outlaws will be drunk?
