    It's currently 21, which is way too high. I think it should be 16.

    That might actually be better than 16, since then it wouldn't coincide with the onset of driving.

    I think alcohol should be illegal and marijuana legal. I've never heard of someone beating their spouse or hurting people on purpose while high.

    But the vast majority of alcohol drinkers are responsible. It's not fair to punish them/us all just because a few people do bad things while drunk.

    (I agree about legalizing weed)

    I guess I'm the odd man out. Leave it at 21 or even raise it. Adults do stupid shit when intoxicated I cannot imagine how a 16 year old would handle booze.

    Can't be good for a developing brain either.

    We're the odd country out by having it so high...if you're old enough to vote in elections, join the army, and live on your own, you're old enough to drink a beer or two.
