In reply to the discussion: Drinking age poll [View all]Johonny
(20,958 posts)So yeah that view is pretty one sided. I didn't say people don't drink and responsibly (whatever that actually means) all the time. That's why I see no reason to fight over a "drinking" age that I full well know people pretty much ignore. You could argue higher drinking ages lead to more binge drinking, you can also argue higher drinking ages lower DUI deaths.
My post in no way tells people not to drink alcohol, but when my one friend that quit drinking asked me if I missed drinking. I responded to him "Not really, I never seen drinking alcohol do anyone a lick of good". If you want to drink I honestly don't care. If you ask me should you drink... I won't pretend to tell you drinking is bound to lead you to any positive improvement in your life. The statistics on alcohol are pretty narrow in terms of benefits and pretty high in terms of costs.
