7 States Consider Lowering the Drinking Age {Asylum}

May 2nd 2008 3:46PM I agree 100% that anyone 18+ should be legally allowed to drink. In every other facet of American life an 18 year old is conisdered an adult. They can vote, fight for our country, (or Iraq), obtain credit, smoke cigarettes, be tried in a court of law as an adult, get married, even raise children. This law is absolutely ridiculous. Aside from the fact it's pointless since 18 - 20 year olds (and even younger) are already drink.

The other alternative is change the law that a minor is not an adult until age 21, therefore you cannot vote, go to war, get married, obtain credit, ad infinitum until age 21. And you know that ain't gonna happen.
