Re: Why the drinking age in the US is 21

[(Anonymous)]

I do think it might be better if it was 18. I drank as a teen quite heavily. Not being able to get alcohol legally had no impact on my drinking except that I was more likely to get into sketchy situations like going off alone with older people who could give me alcohol, or staying in a toxic friendship in my late teens with someone because they bought us drinks. I think going to a bar would have been safer! I actually cut down on drinking a lot once I was 21 and could buy alcohol myself, and later ended up stopping (it's just not for me). This is just based on my own experience though, not an actual policy opinion, idk what the actual effect of changing the drinking age would be.

I'm old enough to have been 18 when it was 18 and I think things were better when it was 18.

like a lot of our stupid policies that have been entrenched for decades (see: DST), I think it deserves a thorough review. what are the trends in other areas of life for the demographic, how does it compare to other forms of impaired driving, etc. I'm super old so I've lived through 18 and 21, and I guess by now I'd accept going back to 18 so it's consistent with other life markers - joining the military, voting, high school-to-college age, being considered an adult for criminal offenses, work hours, etc. BUT it would come after first verifying that raising the age did not significantly change DUI outcomes, that OWI from weed, vapes, etc isn't catching up, that people under 18 are driving less and therefore drinking and driving less, etc.

but we can't even get municipal cops to enforce traffic laws, why should underage drinking be any different? honestly, in a college town, I feel like the 21 is so local police can fine bars and patrons more often - can't hand out 110 drinking citations and fine the bar next to the university if it's legal for all those kids to drink, right?
