Underage drinking

[Duane Meissner]

Another crazy thing about laws and alcohol...

Some kids eagerly await their 21st birthday so they can finally drink legally, and so when they DO finally turn 21, they have a lot of it (especially in that first year).
It doesn't make sense to me, then, to make the legal drinking age later than the legal driving age.
I think a big reason we have so many Alcohol related deaths on the street is because kids who have been driving for 5 years all of a sudden are welcomed with open arms to the world of legal drinking, and don't know how to handle alcohol.
Kudos to our European friends (and whoever else) who have reversed this! Your statistics are better than ours!
