JF, It's not a matter of lowering the drinking age, it's a matter of taking away the mystique and the forbidden fruit image.

Well that I can agree with to an extent. However, I've seen the binge drinking culture on college campuses, and trust me, that's not going to go away simply by lowering the drinking age.

Why should I give you the benefit of the doubt when I think you are wrong? Do you give me the benefit of the doubt when you think I'm wrong?

Actually, I can't think of too many instances where I thought you were just plain wrong. I just toss out alternative viewpoints, but I guess some of those viewpoints seem to rub you the wrong way.

re: Why not indeed. I'd say British society is a lot closer to American society than French society is. Lower the drinking age here, and you'll end up with results more like Britian than France.

More importantly, why are we growing kids who feel the need to binge drink?
