18 vs 21

I don't know what you are talking about SteveDallas. We all know if you illegalize something the abuse will go down. I mean, look at the great success of the prohibition.

Seriously, I think we should have a system for 18-21 year olds that if they are drinking alcohol and are below a certain Blood-Alcohol level, they don't get a ticket (unless they are driving). That encourages responsible drinking both socially and through the law. It is basically the same thing as encouraging safe sex instead of abstinence.
