It does seem to be, yes.PLAYER57832 wrote: I think the biggest indicator of how someone will deal with alchohol is how they are taught to deal with it and life in general, not the law.

Texas is pretty flat. You get much more perspective when you can climb a real mountain.Woodruff wrote:And we're back to the subject of Texas...Timminz wrote:worst... best...PLAYER57832 wrote:This, is of course, the worst ...Timminz wrote:rock and roll, etc...

I think one of the best advantages of that has been that I know how much alcohol affects your skill so I will never drive drunk. I basically experienced shit situations with alcohol before I had to deal with being responsible.

In fact to throw out an example...in Germany, you can legally drink off-base under 21, but not on-base (so you better be taking that taxi back to the base...).PLAYER57832 wrote: Some colleges have tried lowering the age limit on college. The problems are legal. Some military bases have done the same. Again, the problem is legal. However, typically you can get reactions along the lines of "you got a uniform.. that's an ID to me! you are obviously over 21!" However, officially, the law is the law.. everywhere.
For the most part correct. I'm in the military. The whole deal where they use to let one underage drink on base is now long gone. There are so many drinking related incidents these days that they have gone and tightened up the reins. While you are stationed in the states, if your not at least 21, you don't drink without risking NJP (Non-Judicial Punishment for those that don't know). However, overseas, it is up to the CO's discretion, on wither or not to reflect that countries laws. For example, I have many a friend in Japan, and they are allowed to drink under the age of 21 (lucky SOB's). The CO is pretty much judge, jury, and executioner, thus having this wonderful ability. Also its my understanding that when on a boat, once out of national waters, its the captains discretion of the drinking age as well.

Re: U.S. Drinking Age
I wonder if there are studies regarding drinking problems in countries with no drinking age.
I think the drinking age in the US has a lot more to do with parenting in absentia by the government (much like a lot of things the government does). Keep in mind that we also outlawed all alcohol for a period of time in the 20th century, so we're a weird culture that way.
