Drinking age 21?

[Boo-]

Sorry if this has been posted before...

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the drinking age going up to 21? I've heard so many rumors about whats happening I'm confused...

I turned 18 a few months ago... and I know its like I'm saying don't raise the age because I'm 18 now... but really I don't see the point.

If anything it will create more problems, young people will still be able to buy alcohol and if anything anyone under 20's now will have nothing to do - which will create more people on the streets and stuff.

Plus its not fair to the majority of 18 year olds who can drink sensibly!

Your thoughts?

I've heard the rumour but I am really not sure if it is true - I am sure the media would have made quite a big deal about it if it was true.

Better not!
I have longer to wait then.

Yeah, I've heard this too. I think it's bad for the people 18-20 now, because we have had the pleasures of buying our own drink, going to clubs etc.. but we are gonna be stripped of it. I hope it doesn't happen

It better not change to 21, seeing as I'm 18 in March

I think it's stupid they have to heighten the age limit because of a few drunk underaged kids. It the communities fault if they wish to sell alcohol to underagers. Teens and Adults have NOTHING to do with it.

I am fully against this for one reason. My current age is 20, and I have been drinking for aprox. 4 years. And I have been perfectly fine, but I don't overdo it with more drinking.

I've got mixed opinions on it. If underaged or on age drinkers drink too much, then they're punishment is pretty much the hangover afterwards.

I have heard many different rumors, 1 includes you can buy alcohol from shops or local pubs at the age of 18 but you have to be 21 to drink in nightclubs and pubs in town centres.
