Your Turn

So, Scout Willis was busted for underage drinking. She is 20 and a college student and drinking a beer. What do you think the drinking age should be? I understand the argument that if you can join the military at 18 that you should also be able to drink. However, I think if you make 18 the legal age there will be a lot more 14 and 15 year old kids getting drunk. Why? There are lots of 18 year old kids in high school. Do you think only 18 year old kids go to parties alone? Nope. These are generally for every grade in that particular high school. Maybe this is a high school that has 9th graders. Most of them are 14. Think they will abstain?

When it is 21, there is that separation. You have 21 year old people buying it at college parties but generally the youngest person there is 18. That is a whole lot different than a 14 year old.
