Ever since I became Habbox staff, I got to know a lot of people from many different countries, and most of these countries have a legal drinking age of 18. Whereas, I am from the United States, and our legal drinking age is 21. There are a lot of questions as to why there is this discrepency, especially since most people believe that it should be 18 instead of 21.
Some talk about how there could be less anti-social behavior if the drinking age is lowered to 18, as young adults will not have a lot of build up towards the excitement of going out drinking for the first time at a bar/club.
What are your thoughts?
What do you believe should be the legal drinking age in the United States and why? Do you think this discrepency in the legal age is affecting the social behaviors of young adults?
