re: Let 18 year olds drink beer again

And let them gamble.

I'll make plenty of room for them at my casino. If you're old enough to be in porn, you're old enough to throw money at my building.

My opinion is that cars should come stock with breathalizers. I don't know why they don't.

I have been saying for years to bring the legal drinking age down to 18.

The problem is that there isn't a politician willing to make the argument that it is for the best.

As a parent I taught my children what moderation and responsible drinking means. Both of my kids understand that there are consequences for their actions and know right from wrong.

Too many parents stick their head in the sand and think that laws will stop their kids from doing something wrong. These are the same parents who won't discipline their kids when they do something wrong while growing up.

As a parent who has a child at LSU in the Greek system, I can't say that I don't have those fears that I will get that call that my child was involved with something like happened today. But I know I raised him to know right from wrong and just hope he remembers the things he was taught before he moved on to the next step in his life.

It should be 18 for everything.

Voting, alcohol, and joining the military.

But when it's not legal you only get limited chances to score alcohol. So when the opportunity comes, you get the most potent kind you can.

This is true. I remember back in the day when I was 20 and would go out to eat with parents, most places wouldnt let me get a beer even though I was with my parents.

On the other side of the sprectrum, I think its stupid a lot of parents who are severly strict on their kids not drinking at a younger age even in front of them. Then they send their kid to college with no experience and kids go crazy.

I think the dui fatal accidents would rise sharply and be negative. I'm all for lowering, but how do you overcome or prevent that?

You can't. The overwhelming majority of American 18 year olds are not capable of moderating consumption. ESPECIALLY regarding drunk driving. There's a reason it's no longer legal. It's not because it was dangerous for them, it's because they were a fricking danger to the rest of us.

bullshite. Adults commit DUI's all the time.

That's a bunch of bullshite. It's about money and everyone knows it. If you think politicians do stuff for the good of the people you are the most naive person I've ever come across.
