i'm 20, 21 in a month and a half. i didnt start drinking until i was 18 or so. i've been retarded once or twice and driven when i shouldnt have, but i'd like to think that my friends and i are more responible than the majority of "legal" drinkers and drivers. trust me....i party out in Tempe AZ, where ASU is, and on fridays and saturdays i'm afraid to drive between 11 and 1, and i WILL NOT drive between 1 and 2:30.
but as far as i am concerned, 18 is an adult. you can buy cigs, go to strip clubs, blah blah blah, and not to mention go off to war and die for your country. so, at 18 you should be given the privilage to drink.....responsibly.
after i graduated high school, i went straight to college. i lived at home, still do, and as far as i'm concerned i live a pretty hectic life. and as far as i'm concerned, i need to take a break from life every once and a while, just like "adults" do.
i hear these adults going on about how life is so stressful, work is kicking their ass, so on and so forth. well shit.....school sucks ass just as much. i drive 45 miles to school and back each day, i go out to school on days off to meet with groups to work on projects at least 6 extra hours a week, i have 10 hours of homework each week.......and dammit, i deserved a night or two a week where i can chill, socialize, and relax until 3 in the morning, go home, wake up and worry about my shit all day long again.
but i'd say, if you were to find empty beer bottles and shit in your son or daughters closet or some shit, and they dont have friends that stay over every once and a while, i'd be worried too.
