College Campus Leaders push for lower drinking age

[Redmo0n]

I'm Australian too and occasionally i drink with friends (I'm 16) but not to heavily and have only got to an actual "drunk" state 2 or 3 times which i didn't really like vomiting afterwards :laughing:

Drinking for some people can be a fun and social environment, and then there are some people who take it to the point of abuse or trying to look hardcore.

If you go to Bali (north of Australia) i believe the drinking age there is 13.

I support drinking age at 18, you're an adult, have a beer. But I do think that there should be substantially more alcohol awareness education in schools if that's the case. And by actual speakers and trained groups, etc. not the lame health teacher who nobody will listen to.

Unfortunately drinking is subjective, some people can handle it and some can't. For example, I am a very responsible drinker when I do it. I have a friend who definitely is not. To him drinking is like a game or a contest--who ever can have more wins and he always has to win. So while I'm relaxing, talking with girls, etc. he's off yelling at the top of his lungs, rolling around on the floor (he does it, no joke), stumbling around, and generally making a horse's *** of himself. Some people are just more responsible with alcohol consumption than others and it's people like my friend who ruined it for the rest of us.

I rarely drink anymore these days. Back when I was 16-18 I drank quite a bit, got drunk a few times but now I'm tired of it. I'll have one or two when I'm out socialising with my friends but that's it really.

It is indeed 16. When I was in retail I used to get 16 year old French kids come to my till and try to buy alcohol. They didn't understand that I couldn't sell them it as our drinking laws are 18+

Israel drinking age is 18, 77 Days till i'm legal in Israel. In Germany it's like 16 but for alcohol up to 20% i think.

I had a friend of mine tell me that there is no drinking age in germany, that when you can see over the countertop you can drink. just an input

 

[Preacher]

BS , I have German friends currently here in Israel and that is the law.

That's how it should be.

Preacher, I don't know if it's true, just something that a friend told me. I make no claim to irrevokeably know much of anything, I go off of experience and what others say. that's why I posted that comment, hoping to get the truth of the matter.

The art class at my old HS went to germany and they all said there was no drinking age, even the little 14 year old freshmen were able to get drunk
