Calahonda Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Minimum age to drive in South Dakota is 14:6 months, whilst it’s 21 to purchase alcohol, but I suppose that they have sober children drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRESLEY Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Are you intending to engage with the debate or is this just trolling. Do you know what the legal drinking ages are? In private? In public? What about with a meal what is the minimum age in a resteraunt then? Im not trolling if your gonna talk daft going on about the age of 5 you will get a daft remark from me. Who drinks booze at 5.

Cyclone Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Im not trolling if your gonna talk daft going on about the age of 5 you will get a daft remark from me. Who drinks booze at 5. It's legal for children from the age of 5 to be given drink by their parents. Probably unusual, but legal. The age you mentioned, 18, is the age to purchase it yourself. Children from 16 - 18 can be served alcohol with a meal if their parents order it for them in a restaurant. Surely before you suggest a change you should really understand what the current situation is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made equally daft decisions at 21 as I did at 18 and dont think I went out on the lash a deal less at 21 than I was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this country got a grip and made it ilegal to drink under 21 there would be a lot less drama on our streets on a night time. Infact ban it all together.

Infact ban it all together. Because there are no under age drinkers now..? What makes you think 18 year olds wouldn'r drink if the age was raised to 21 ?

Geo-atkinson Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 No the legal age to drink alcohol should be 16. But the alcohol on sale should be of a low percentage. This will get young people used to socialising with people from different generations, used to drinking socially, and will help with the transgression between youth and adult. In addition it will open up a world beyond the internet, Face-ache and Twit-ter. Anyone that listens to the yankee doodle, bible bashing, two faced rhetoric coming from the other side of the pond wants their head loking at. Cos they do it in the USA doesn't mean it's right.

We binge drink in this country - big time, its what we do. Have done since the year dot. Ive heard tales of proper fights in chesterfield under the vic veranda back in the late 60s early 70s. You could, on all accounts, set your watch by them. Young people drink far less now than ever before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
