If they can’t drink it shouldn’t be legal.

I think everything should be 25 across the board.

Maybe for low alcohol content beer but hard liquor should require a higher age, so should smoking and driving. 18 isn’t the magic number, neither is 21. The idea that there’s a single age we consider someone an adult is outdated.

Practically speaking driving is a necessity to get around in a lot of places. Like work and school

And anyways I think teen drivers are bad primarily due to lack of experience. I started driving in my 20s but I don’t I was better than where everyone else started out at

It’s 18 in most places.

Also it’s not like the law ever stopped teens from getting hammered.

You’re approaching this from a very US centric perspective. The age of consent is pretty low in most EU countries, it doesn’t mean old creeps fucking 16-19 yo girls is at all acceptable.

Im pretty sure Ive read stuff that proves that Europe’s attitudes about alcohol and young people actually lead to LESS alcoholism and binge drinking among the youth. Surprise surprise.
