18 -- if you're old enough to die for this nation, old enough to be given the right to vote...you should be able to drink. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 08:44 9

  - Life has consequences. At 18, those consequences involve dying or killing others for your flag. If an 18yr old doesn't know decisions have impacts.. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 08:53 4

      - I'm not saying 2 sets of penalties...I'm saying the overall DUI/DWI penalties need to be far stronger - Will Hunting Jul 12, 08:56 2
        
        I thought you meant stronger for kids over adults. Got what you mean now. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 08:59

- Actually I would be all for allowing drinking at 16 if the driving age was raised to 21. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 08:43
I'm fine with 18. -- nm - mafic Jul 12, 08:40
Oddly, I'm fine with it at 21 and I'm ok with knowing most will be drinking at a younger age. I think making it difficult when the kids are younger - pmb Jul 12, 08:37 1

I think I'd be okay dropping it to 18, dropping the legal limit to 0.05, and upping the punishment for DUI on anyone under 20. -- nm - TWuG Jul 12, 08:36 6
- it's .05 here, and zero if you've had your license less than 2 years. -- nm - mafic Jul 12, 08:42
- anyone caught with DUI should have their license revoked for... a good 10 years or so. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 08:39
- I honestly would support a new nation wide DUI program where the second conviction = loss of privilege for life. - Spawn Jul 12, 08:39 3
  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 08:40
  - i would support that too. second strike, sorry, you lose. -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 08:39 1
    - Yup. You get one chance to learn from your mistake, not a second. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 08:40
I completely agree that if you are old enough to be in the army, you are old enough to drink. - groiny Jul 12, 08:34 1
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 08:40

- I kind of think 23. but then kind of I know it largely doesn't matter. -- nm - amanda, dell Jul 12, 08:40
