I seem to be getting some good response from this post. I my self have been drinking since my grade 9 year when Seniors in our school took us to a farm and got us messed up off of 3 beers ... hah ... but I am 20 now and been publicly drinking with family for 4 years and in the bars since 19 (legal where I am) ... now at 19 I was in the bar every weekend blowing between $100 - $200 a night ... that lasted all but 2 months. I feel the Europeans got it right, lower the age, have it socially acceptable and part of everyday life so then it won't be such a novelty to pick up a "2-4" and get pastered ... plus the tax dollars on those cases of beer and such ... they would be crazy not to!
