France and uk both have lower rates of alcohol related deaths as opposed to the US. And their drinking age is 18….
Germany’s drinking age is 16 and their rate is higher. Poland, Russia, Ukraine, the balkans and baltics is 18 and those rates are considerably higher.

Pretty amazing that you believe this.
If Lonnie really is in Utah, it could be true.

I'm not sure if it's still like this but you could drink at 19 in Canada in the 90s.

I started college early and moved out at 17. No time for partying when you’re studying and working all the time. I never begrudged them doing something fun but they’re pretty quiet even if they don’t have the same level of responsibility I did.

I let my teenage kids eat edibles with me.

I kept drinking/weed use pretty much in check, baseball was more Important to me at the time. We drank on occasion but I never got really drunk.
My mom knew what buttons to push, and seemed to know most of the stuff I did.

I’m not sure why parents of 16-18 year old kids are this worried about alcohol consumption when overall numbers of alcohol consumption has plummeted the past decade or so.
Alcohol consumption is nowhere near as pervasive as it was in the 90’s and 2000’s.
Just look at online articles on beer sales and consumption. It has exponentially decreased just in the last 5 years.

Because kids are terminally online. Not sure if that's better or worse than being out drinking.

I’m guessing you’re LDS out in Utah? If so, I may retract the prior skepticism.

This. They aren’t socializing in person nearly as much.

Is that really true? I was told alcoholism is a serious problem in Europe especially Eastern European countries.

Yeah and you frickers are all at the secret bar no one talks about on Saturday night. On Sunday morning y’all all at church acting like you haven’t seen each other since church last week.
21 year old drinking age is one of the stupidest laws on the books.
If you teach your children right from wrong they learn how to be adults.

Parents that supply alcohol for under 18 kids are trashy.
Parents that lets kids drink at their camp or house and allow the alcohol onto their property are begging for a massive lawsuit should ANYTHING go wrong.
Once the kid graduates high school and is 18, free world in my opinion.
Just DO NOT drink and drive.

How do I feel about letting my kids have a taste so they can see how much beer and booze tastes like absolute arse? No problem.
Kids are going to do stupid shite. I totally get that. However, facilitating it is next level stupid. Trashy AF

Situation dependent, once you’re 18 though, it’s no longer really up to me regardless of the drinking age. I’ll order them a beer if he’d like but I no longer drink so he usually doesn’t.. I’ve allowed my sons to drink a beer or few if , hunting, fishing at the camp or with family. I don’t tolerate drinking and driving and if you got to jail, be prepared to wait..
