hmm im in an awkward position here.
im known as a 'drinker' on this board. yet, for the most part, i support the current drinking laws.
i think it has been shown that those under 21 have a hard time handling alcohol responsibly. just look at the binge drinking deaths statistics.
All the binge drinking is largely as a result of the drinking laws. I did it a lot more before I was 21, because I wanted to drink as much as possible and since I couldn't just walk into a bar and have one beer I didn't have the opportunity all the time. So whenever I was at some keg or house party I would try to drink as much as possible and this is something I see all underage people do even today.
I also hardly see any difference in the maturity of a 21 year old and an 18 year old.
most people are more mature at 21 than at 18.
i realize that may not be true in your case.
