smh 18 is old enough to make bad decisions.

I would make 18 the age for everything from drinking to smoking to driving.

I like this idea -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 08:41
yeah, if you are old enough to join the army, you are old enough to do anything. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 22, 08:38
not a good idea to have kids starting drinking and driving at the same time. They should be used to one before starting the other. -- nm - zork Apr 22, 08:35 1
- See my point below. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 08:37
I would go two years earlier for driver training. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 08:30 2
- That's common. 16 for driver's ed and you can get your license at 17. No driver's ed and you have to wait until you're 18. - Krusty Apr 22, 08:34 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 08:37
agree with your IM. -- nm - colin Apr 22, 08:28 2
- The argument I always fall back on is, how can we ask a kid to go fight in a war but not allow him to have a beer when he's home? - Krusty Apr 22, 08:37 1
  - actually I do believe that in the army the soldiers could drink 3.2 beer even in dry states on base - zeitgeist Apr 22, 10:36
