- (189891) - some bars deny entry or the right to serve if the person is too drunk
- (188484) - I don't go to bars because they're ridiculously expensive.
The times I did go underage, however, it wasn't difficult to obtain.

- (317952) - its fin
- (214494) - People are going to drink, no matter what the age. If they're old enough, they can buy it themselves. If they're younger, they can get someone to purchase for them.
- (201328) - your brain isnt fully developed til your 21. (is that even true!?!?!?)
- (197430) - To 20
- (189906) - If you can serve in the Military at 18, you should be able to drink at 18.
- (188484) - I spent some time in Ireland/England where the drinking age is lower and I felt it was ridiculous that the only reason I was able to buy my own alcohol was because I was in a different country.
- (188465) - The age to enter bars should be 21.
- (188445) - I've always been responsible, but, I know that the college environment is very conducive to drinking. I feel like if the drinking age were reduced, drinking as a whole wouldn't be such a new and exciting thing for new college students to do in such an irresponsible manner. If the drinking age were reduced to say, 18, college students would have already learned the lessons of drinking while under parental supervision when becoming of age to drink.
- (188325) - The rules should follows those of Germany's: Drinking age is beer at 16, hard alcohol at 18 and driving liscense should be 18. Additionally, if the current drinking age remains at 21, the age for service persons (i.e. army, navy) should be lowered to 19.
- (188319) - The rest of the world has a drinking age of 18. I studied abroad and was legal and now I've come back to the States and am no longer legally allowed to drink alcohol. I get very frustrated by this especially because I am the last of my friends to be under 21 and so when we go bar hopping I have to spend $20 and I haven't even bought any drinks.
