I had a bottle of glue once back in 4th grade that I thought had the funniest smell. I don't recall where I had gotten it from, but it smelled like old dirty gym socks and I thought it was soooo funny. The teachers freaked out thinking that I was becoming some kind of dope head. Come on!!!
In France, people can legally drink when theyâre 18. Japan says 20 is the right age. In Wisconsin, anyone can drink at any age, as long as theyâre with their parents or of-age spouses. But whichever cutoff point seems right to you, one thing is clear: Nobody aged 18 to 21 should drink all types of alcohol.
Mark Kleiman, predictibly, has some eminently sensible suggestions : Setting the minimum legal drinking age at 21 saves lives by reducing drunk driving, and not just among the 18-to-21's; if 18-year-old high school seniors can buy beer at the supermarket, then 16-year-old high school sophomores have access to it.
