I think there should be no drinking age. If you look at countries who don't have drinking age most people (teens) don't drink. I think that is because they only want to do what they can't do.

I remember having a very strong debate with you on this subject, I believe you wanted the drinking age to be raised even higher...

I did, but then  after looking at France they have no drinking age and look at them. They do not have drunk drivers, they have no problem with it at all. That is because they are uses to it and there for they body can take the drinking they do, unlike here in America.

That post made no sense. No drunk drivers in France? No problems with it? First of all there are never "no problems" with alcohol. People will get drunk, people will get into accidents. That happens everywhere.

Also, the French and other Europeans are used to drinking at younger ages, I agree. However, that could be the main point for not lowering the age in the U.S. Drinking is part of their culture. They are more responsible drinkers. Then you say Americans can't take the drinking at a younger age. Well...why would you want it lowered? It just doesn't make sense.

Our bodies can't take it right now but our kids could.
