i'm also a fan of lowering the drinking age--but i want to see the driving age raised. i'd rather people learn to handle their liquor before they learn to drive.
it is a lot easier to drink before being legal than to drive before being legal. why not just change the law to work with that? getting drunk at 14 took little to no effort on my part, driving at 14 was a different story. even at 16 i couldn't afford my own car, so i had to rely on my parents to buy me one or loan me theirs (like most teens). some of my friends had cars (thanks to their parents) but getting a friend to buy me a beer was easier than getting them to loan me their car.
