I'm 19, and it's taking way too long to become 21 , so I can buy liquor legally!
I germany having the drinking age at 16 works, why? Well the culture is very different there.

If the US or Canada changed tomorrow the drinking are to 16 I donā??t tink it would work out well.

In the US itā??s like b4 your 21 drinking is a sin. In germany kids grow up to respect alcohol and many consume it on a regular basis with their family. So itā??s not the forbidden fruit. This approach has created people who when they are 16 are able to accept the responsibilities of drinking and enjoy the benefits.

The current north American approach donā??tā?? create such individuals.
