- (213595) - Bouncers
- (208029) - Get cops called on you, at home just go pass out
- (191872) - There are bouncers/security
- (190043) - Well for the most part, I would say bars handle the situation better. This is so because more often than not, parents are not at private residences during underage consumption. So, usually there are no sober individuals. However, at a bar there are people paid to deal with those that cannot handle themselves.
- (189891) - some bars deny entry or the right to serve if the person is too drunk
- (189872) - Bars are more responsible when it comes to noticing problematic individuals when an apt would probably just make the person leave. Also, cops are called and individuals are kicked out when they are threatening to others.
- (189787) - bars just kick people out
- (189776) - fights and belligerent behavior are not tolerated at bars and ppl get kicked out. at private residents its harder to control ppl.
- (189767) - Bars are surprisingly safe, the have sober workers and managers tending to alcohol related actions.
- (188428) - Bouncers
- (188411) - Depends on how well your friends take care of someone who is drunk; by the way, I had to answer questions 5-9 even though I answer "no" on 3 in order to submit the survey, so disregard those answers!

- (213595) - Cut off
- (208029) - More fun at bar, they got pool tables
- (191872) - They cut them off, at a private residence that rarely happens
- (189872) - Bars are more responsible when it comes to noticing someone who is too intoxicated/passed out when an apt would probably just make the person leave. If it is necessary a bar will call an ambulance or taxi so that individual gets the correct care needed.
- (189776) - its hard to say, bars don't really kick you out unless you make some sort of public scene.
- (188428) - Bouncers
- (188411) - same as above

- (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.
- (208029) - Younger people can't handle the liquor and that leads to alchole poising
- (201328) - your brain isnt fully developed til your 21. (is that even true!?!?!?)
- (190043) - I believe it should remain unchanged with one exception. It should be lowered on college campuses..perhaps to 19. It is going to happen regardless and might as well keep it confined to an area where young adolescents are not driving. Drinking tickets and silly arrests have a profound impact on our children's futures. It is a shame that money hungry police officers make such a big deal out of what really is not a big deal at all. We have the highest drinking age in the world, yet we seem to have the most problems with alcohol. If we tell kids that alcohol is evil all through childhood and they come to realize that it really is not a big deal at all, then we should not be surprised when they abuse it. I believe that when I am a parent, I will supervise my child when they begin to experiment with alcohol. I believe that by learning to handle myself at an early age while under the influence it has helped me to become a model citizen while drinking in public. Kids that have no experience with alcohol practically have it written on their foreheads while out at a bar and it is not only embarrassing for the individual, but it is dangerous.
- (189872) - Increasing the age will not stop those who drink while underaged and decreasing the drinking age will just increase the number of accidents associated with alcohol.
- (189776) - 21 is fine, if you want to drink under aged, just don't get caught. if you do get caught, you were probably belligerent and deserved it.
- (189767) - Who cares at this point, changes like that wont impact the economy for better or for worse. 21 is a mature age that seems to do well for everyone.
- (188465) - The age to enter bars should be 21.
- (188428) - No need to lower or raise current limit works
- (188411) - fine where it is
