if the US were to bring the drinking age down, they would have to set a date in the future where it would take effect, most likely when the next generation would be coming age. in the meantime, the school system would be restructured to give responsibility to students at a younger age, and begin holding them more accountable for their actions. quickly they will learn for every choice/action there is a consequence. by the time they're 18 and drinking they will have instilled in them the knowledge that they are NOT invincible and can die if they choose the wrong actions.

when i got my liscence, you only had to have a permit for a month :reechy: they changed it though. i maybe got in like, 2 hours of driving experience. then the day after i got it, we bought my car and i went straight to work. I freaked out when i left though because it was nighttime and i couldn't figure out my headlights. its quite possible that i drove all the way home with my highbeams on
