I know it's a perennial question, debated endlessly since the beginning of time. Well maybe since 1984 when President Reagan and Congress forced states to raise the legal drinking age to 21 by threatening to withhold federal highway funds.In an article from the Economist.com, I learned that there is a recent movement to lower the legal drinking age in some states. The argument is that the age limit doesn't work anyway, and it also creates a lack of respect for law because it's not really enforceable.
I personally think that it's a parental responsibility to teach children responsible drinking habits. There should be some kind of age limit, but I think that it should be something more reasonable. After all, you can be tried as an adult at a young age in many states, so why do you have to be 21 (legally) to have a drink? What do you think?
