Personally, I'm in favor of lowering the drinking age. Because the kids who abuse it will still abuse it, and they'll still get in just as much trouble either with authority or with their bodies, and they're of no importance to me. It actually reduces the danger of the situation that kids put themselves in to GET alcohol, though. And I'm not using it irresponsibly to the point where it will hurt me, so no, I'm not pretending I don't see a problem with it...I legitimately don't see a problem with it.
If your country declares you old enough to fight and die for it, old enough to make the decision in war to kill another human being, you should be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. When our parents were growing up, in many places the drinking age was 18, and I'm not going to make an idiotic assumption based on people I don't know and say your parents turned out to be unhealthy, unintelligent hacks because they had a drink before they were 21.

That's just what I'd do.

I don't expect your body to be working properly at 50 if you don't clean up your act. You probably smoke as well. Don't pretend there isn't a problem with that, I know you've seen anti under age drinking and smoking advertisements at school and on TV.

Oh, I smoke now!? Biggest bullshit ever. Read these words very carefully - I HATE Smoking. I hate the smell, I hate the fact how people do it, I think it's pointless, it's a massive waste of money. You, Bob, need to stop making ridiculous assumptions. I don't drink
all the time, just once a while. Maybe like every 6 weeks or something like that.
