Your response is most likely the difference in maturity levels. Why do you have a problem waiting until the legal age to drink? And before you say it's not fair, don't. I don't think I should have to pay the taxes I do either.

Just my opinion but I think the reasons for keeping the drinking age as it is are far better than any argument I've read here for lowering it.

Unfortunately, innocent people are affected by alcohol. You may be able to sit in your dorm and have a drink and it's no big deal, but there are many teens who would not be able to handle that responsibility and other people end up paying the consequences.

There really doesn't seem to be any reasoning with shellylet, so let's just let shelley stew in her own over-emotionalism and constitutional apathy.

You're talking about drunk driving, I presume?

Why do you have a problem waiting until the legal age to drink?

Yeah, that's it. I'm just really curious to find out what alcohol tastes like. I'm so eager, but the law's stopping me. Also, I have a bridge to sell you.
