I can count on one hand the number of people I know that waited until 19 (the drinking age here and in most of Canada) to drink, and that's not an unusual experience. Make it legal for them to drink under supervision, and that gives them the opportunity to have that experience in a controlled fashion that can teach them responsible drinking practices. Otherwise, it's outright illegal for parents to try to teach their kids about drinking (at least to do more than talk at them, and we all know how well that works for teenagers), which puts many kids at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to learning how to drink responsibly. you arent wrong, I think that lowering the age though just reinforces the view that drinking alcohol is a social norm and not a big deal for young people --- my resting temp can easily be in the 90's -Krazy_Kirby ...
