Why on earth would there be a reason for lowering the age?Response by SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 2 at 2014 9:00 AM2014-01-02T09:00:00-05:002014-01-02T09:00:00-05:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member141810<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I was 18, I wanted the drinking age lowered. Now that I'm 40, I'm glad it wasn't. It's a biological fact that (especially) males are insane until their early 20s because of the hormonal changes. No need to add free access to alcohol into that mix. I tell our 17 yr old son all the time - remember what you're thinking now, and at 24 you'll realize just how wrong that thinking was.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 2 at 2014 5:38 PM2014-06-02T17:38:02-04:002014-06-02T17:38:02-04:002014-01-02T00:11:59-05:00
