In reply to the discussion: Any chance the drinking age will get lowered to 18 any time soon? [View all]LiberalFighter

As to the question. Not likely in the foreseeable future. I don't have a problem with 18 year olds drinking if done responsibly. But, the line is too fine when it involves high school students that turn 18 in high school. The circle of kids at this age group also includes those in college with friends that are underage visiting. There is too much peer pressure. Even having it at 19 wouldn't help. Even if colleges banned drinking for the students it would only apply on campus. And it is difficult to supervise the activities of thousands of students to make sure they wouldn't violate the rules by going off campus to drink and then returning to their dorm later in the night/morning drunk.
