Raise the drinking age

I'm with Sundae Girl. I think its cultural and therefor, dont think altering the legal age will change a thing.

I often wonder whether lowering the age limit over there might have more of a positive impact?
I mean, you lower the drinking age limit and let these 18-19 year olds into clubs/pubs....are they more likely to party *sensibly* in a *controlled* environment, than they would be sneaking around someones house and thinking up dumbshit to do??

My parents introduced us all to drinking at a early age. If Mum or Dad went to the bottleshop, we were asked what we would like to try, 1 can was bought and we were encouraged to drink it with the rest of the family.

Legal drinking age here is 18.

I always thought it was a bit dumb to have these teenagers, become *adults*, get their license, drink legally and vote...ALL on the same birthday.
