    you made some extremely good points. alot of countries in the world dont have a drinking age, and those countries dont have any problems with minors and drinking.

    If you're serious about that (and I do think it's a valid point), you might want to get rid of some of the grammatical errors to make yourself appear more serious.

    Does it really matter wether it's 18 or 21.... don't tell me people don't have the willpower to wait three years even though it doesn't make logical sense that you are legally an adult at 18 yet alcohol's age is set at 21. I mean... yeah, it's what it stands for but it won't change much.

    is it something that would change your life so much that you have to fight for it? or was it something that you just wanted to do because thats what other people think?

    Awww, an online petition for alcoholism, with no info, overstated pointless "points"... no strengh, and no way of reaching the government.

    Nope, I won't sign it.

    An 18 year old drinking age means that high school seniors can buy beer for themselves or underclassmen even more easily than they do now. Doesn't this age group account for a majority of auto fatalities, drunk driving not included? I know that it might work in other countries, but Americans are generally unresponsible morons. I don't think it's a good idea.

    21 is so old! Our drinking age is 18.. they lowered it from 20 about eight years ago....
    I think that if I can buy porn, buy a pack of smokes, and especially fight for my country, get married and vote for government I should be allowed to enjoy a quiet beer at the end of the day :)

    I think the age should be 18, but that if it is, then a lot of money should be spent on tough financial penalities for those buying and supplying younger people with alcohol and educating people about its dangers.

    Plus, if it is 18 then the younger people can go to bars to drink where at least their intake will be monitored by shit scared bar owners who don't want a $10,000 fine. this is, I think, better than an 18 yr old getting a bottle of spirits of an older mate and drinking where no-one will stop serving him when he's nearly comatose.
