Here is where I'm going with this: the legal drinking age should be raised to 25 years old. Now, don't panic, I have good reasons. We'll tell lawmakers that it's to protect children and reduce alcohol-related deaths. We'll hold back federal highway dollars unless the states comply. But the real reason for changing the age is to make me feel better. Now, with a legal drinking age of 21, I'm just a 23-year-old drunk. But if the drinking age were 25, I'd be an outlaw freedom fighter just trying to have a good time, like I was when I was 18-20. Parties would be more exciting, due to the nervous tension of wondering if the cops would come. Not to mention that I'd save a lot of money by not going to bars. Man, undergraduates think paying $5 to get into a party is expensive. If my 18-year-old self found out that my 23-year-old self once paid $5 just to GET IN to a GAY bar, my 18-year-old self would probably think he was about to win the lottery, and find out something very unexpected and life altering about himself.
The only reason 21 is so acceptable to us is that its been that way since we were born. But when our parents were young, the life expectancy was like 40, so rasing the drinking age by 3 years cut off like ten percent of their drinking time. Now that we live in a time where neural prosthetics and cancer-fighting robots have pushed average life expectancy to 120-140 years, raising the drinking age a few years is not so bad. Oh, by the way, I'm writing this entry from the future.

Posted by: kate at December 6, 2004 06:38 PMIts not everbody elses fault you have a drinking problem. The drinking age should not be 25 just because YOU have a problem.
Posted by: Hannah at December 8, 2004 03:06 PMDont listen to them...there are a lot of people in the world that have drinking problems and i think that it should be changed also to 25. I totally agree with you and i think your absolutly right.

Posted by: stu at February 17, 2005 12:42 PMthe drinking age should stay where it is at unless you have enlisted into the armed forces. if you can die for our country you should be able to have access to all of the potential legal activities

Posted by: jakiboy at March 9, 2005 10:54 AMI used to have a drinking problem too, but then I cut my hand hand off to remind myself notto drink any longer. I figure if I can't hold the bottle, then I can't drink it. Hmmm, beeeer.
Posted by: ILikeBeer at March 9, 2005 10:59 AMi think the drinking age should be lowerd because if u can fight for ur contry at 18 then u should be able to drink at 18!

Posted by: Thomas at March 23, 2005 01:04 PMi agree wit lance and kate lower the drinking age to 18 because like lance said if you can die fighting for ur contry you be able to drink anything at age 18
Posted by: tony at April 19, 2005 11:29 AMokay this is what i think, i believe that the drinking should be raised not lowered we already have lots of 21 and 22 years olds who can't handel drinking or drink then drive....think about what would happen if we lowered it, more deaths would occur. back in 1984 after the US raised the drinking age from 18 to 21 deaths realted to drinking decreased. i think that in order to decrease it even more is to raise the drinking age to 25 or more. I believe what the guy is tryin to say, and i'm not even 18 yet. And to the other commenters cut the bullshit okay, this is fucking crazy.
i think the drinking age shouldnt be raised. it should be lowered because if someone decides to drink and something happens to them, it is that persons fault. everyone is responsible for themselves. i think the age for legal drinking should be lowered 18.

Posted by: Ariel at May 3, 2005 11:01 AMYou know how many people drink that are under the drinking age anyways? If the damn drinking age was raised to 25, you'll only be pissing evryone off as they already are. There are so many people that sdrink under age that it is not going to matter what age it's at. It doesn't matter what age it is because people are going to drink no matter what the age is and the only good thing that comes out of being 21, is being able to buy the alcohol. it's not hard to find alcohol when you are under age. Believe me!!!!!!!!!!!! So stop wasting your time trying to make a difference for yourself and your superiority and think about society!

Posted by: mike at May 11, 2005 01:18 PMsome of the things that y'al post make you sound sick and twisted.also about the comment if you are able to die for your country you should be able to drink. when you decided to join the army you were given a gun to fight for you country not a god damn drink!
I think your so right. The drinking age should be raised to 25.
Posted by: savannah at May 19, 2005 09:35 AMif you raise the drinking age then there will be more accidents because of drinking. how would you like it if you find out your close friend or relative has been killed by a drunk? its not how people should die. i thnk the age should stay the same or be raised until the person drinking is ready and mature enough to take the responsiblity of drinking
Posted by: random kiddo at June 1, 2005 01:12 PMIf we raise it its not gunna change anything people are still gunna drink any ways so thats fucking retarded i think it should be lowerd to 18 because everyone drinks at 18 any ways so i think this web site is bullshit and i cant believe i wasted my time reading it
Posted by: ashley at June 6, 2005 11:18 AMThis is how it should be.... the drinking age should be put up but not that far man you crossed the line a bit it should be 20-21 man that sounds a bit better i was trying to reasearch for a persasive man!.
Posted by: Jett at July 15, 2005 06:46 PMWhy does it matter how high it gets raised? We'll still drink anyways, and if it comes down to it then teens and young american will just start smoking more pot, snorting more coke, and chugging more cough syrup.
Posted by: dsfvsdf at July 24, 2005 05:52 PMYou're a fucking retard dude. Twenty-five is way too high. I personally think it should be lowered to 18. Why?? You can die for your country at 18, you can smoke, you can watch porn videos, you can get married; yet you still can't drink. That's fucked up. Anyone who wants to raise the drinking age can suck my fucking dick.
Posted by: nick at August 28, 2005 11:57 PMwell at first i thought you were a fucking dumbass and had no idea what you were talking about til you said you paid to get into a gay bar...a gay bar huh.....now i know you're a fucking dumbass and you should be more concerned with the fact that you prefer a dick in your ass than your dick in a pussy
Posted by: youradumbass at September 14, 2005 11:12 AMthats bull the drinking age should be lowered to 18 because were responsible enough to take care of our selves
Posted by: Selena at September 14, 2005 11:54 AMYOU mill1991 are the man. and i hope your sitting somewhere laughing your ass off.
Posted by: ALexia at September 29, 2005 03:14 AMi also beleive that the drinking age should be lowered to 18, is it all our faults that you are 23, and cannot have any fun, only because you wish you were a rebel again, so i bet you wish once youve turned 27, you will want to raise it to 30, so that you can feel like an outlaw yet again, well the sad part is, you are like peter pan, and cannot have the balls to grow up, you truly are the stupid person of america who beleives his problems should persecute the rest of us.
Posted by: whatasadmanyouare at October 31, 2005 08:13 PMeven if they were to lower the drinking age
really what would it change everyone underage is already able to buy liquor.
Not only did i find this page weried I found that your reasons for rasing the drinking age was laughable!!!! There is no way any one would raise the drinking age just for you.
Posted by: Brandy at November 17, 2005 04:39 PM25 is perfect for the drinking age bc it will let you look forward to something for longer

Posted by: JONNY at March 1, 2006 03:01 PMthats bullshit are you crazy, why in the hell would you want to raise the drinking age? i think it should be lowered or stay the same. just cause your a drunk does not mean everybody is!! you need help!
Posted by: TAY at March 28, 2006 02:59 PMi have to do a project in debate class and im on the side to keep the law set at 21 instead of lowering it to 18. im 16 years old and yes i do drink but now that i have to look up stuff about how under age drinking has effected other teen i agree that it should stay 21 or be raised and i hate to say this but you have no right to call some one an retard just becuase they give their oppinion
sincerly nichole
I think Drinking age should raise to 25,cuz there are bunch of accident caused by drink drving,,,
and if u wanna talk about ARMY shit,who said u have to go to army? that is ur choise. Choise and Law is totally different .
I think that all of this things that i just read is true. And i think the age should be raise at the age of 25. we have a lot of people that have drinking problems.
Posted by: luis at May 8, 2006 11:59 AMYou guys are funny as hell but yeah the drinking age should be lowered to 18 or 19!!!!!!!!!
