Lawmakers in some states are considering the saying "If you're old enough to fight, you're old enough to drink." Several Legislatures, including Kentucky, South Carolina and Wisconsin are considering bills that would lower drinking ages for military personnel only. However, the move is facing a lot of opposition. A recent Gallup Poll shows 77% of Americans don't want to lower the drinking age from 21.
So, what do you think. At 18, young men enter the selective service and if need be, drafted to fight a war. They can cast their first official ballot at that time as well. Can 18 year olds have a legal drink too? I also ponder a report I heard (and I can't remember the network now) about how binge drinking is running rampant because 18 to 20 year olds are getting drunk, at home and before they go party, because they can't go to the bar and get served.
This is sure to raise some debate.
