A google image search of “drunk” comes up with this. Granted, it’s on the second page, after all the nude photos.
This link from the CBC discusses the drinking age in America, and how particular States are thinking of lowering it.
I’ve always been a considerable supporter of lowering the drinking age, both in America and here in Canada. If you can drive a car, I feel you should be able to drink. While that certainly raises many questions – most pertaining to drinking and driving or ‘over-drinking’ – I believe that these are issues of education rather than legislation.
If anything, the current laws (North America wide) contribute to unhealthy binge-drinking, over-drinking, and the use of fake identification. While simply lowering the drinking age won’t fix these problems, it would certainly be a good start.
Feel free to disagree with me in the comments section.
