Raise the drinking age - Page 5

rkz...I think you've got it exactly right. The drinking age in the US has always been something that's puzzled me, especially since when I was a young person there were always plenty of 18 - 21 yr old Americans in pubs etc doing the same things the aussie teenagers were doing. I even remember discussing it with different ones of different occasions and getting the same response that you've given here.

Surely if you're trying to protect your 'children' then they shouldn't be allowed to travel on international flights without supervision either. That way they couldn't come to countries with lower drinking ages and get drunk legally.

I wonder how many stories like that have older people in them?

I wonder if he had counselling or any other kind of help to deal with his fucked up brain after killing two people and losing a limb. Yeah yeah, of course he's a shithead for what he did, but he'll be paying for it for the rest of his life as well, so that's something to keep people happy.
