The problem is, you are really depend on cars due to the lack of public transport. In Europe, you can get drunk then take the bus home. In the US, there is taxi which is way too expensive for a teen, or someone can drive you home, but maybe everyone who could is busy or unavailable. So you have a bigger urge to drive home drunk.

In Germany, we started drinking (and not just beer and wine) when we were 14. But since we all weren't allowed to drive yet, we never drove drunk. And even when we had a driver's license, we just continued to take the bus because even at 1 o'clock at night, buses were still running.

As a person from an european city I have never understood this issue, but it's true that having a walkable city with propper public transport is key to reduce drunk driving. People everywhere starts to drink way before they are allowed to, that's why I think the problem is not the drinking age, but the facilities people may have in the place they live to stay safe.

Fun fact: My dad was around when you could drink at 18. I'm sure he did so on his 18th birthday. However, the day after, he didn't do so (if he did, not legally.) as the law was changed the day after he turned 18.

Your dad would’ve been grandfathered in at least in Ohio. My uncle turned 18 the year they changed it to 21 he was still able to drink legally because his birthday fell before the law went in effect. My dad at the other hand technically had to wait until 21. Although most cops at the time did not really care past the age of 18. College parties were a lot less regulated than they were during my college years.

Guys, the only way to solve the alcohol problem is having an alcohol culture. If you don't learn from your family to drink responsibly as you grow up, you'll end up really bad when you start at 21. I started drinking at home with my relatives, some sparkling wine for birthdays, some red wine during meals... You start to enjoy it in a socially safe environment, and you eventually link the experience to a moderate consumption during special events.

It's interesting, my dad was quite literally one of the kids described at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a>, living in northern Illinois and driving to Wisconsin to go drink. Then he and his buddies would drunk drive back home, and they did indeed get in an accident once (fortunately no one was hurt). Meanwhile, my wife is from France, where the drinking age is 18, but this law is hardly enforced and it's common for kids 15-16 to be able to buy alcohol. And evidently they have far fewer automobile fatalities involving drunk drivers than we do in the US. Also, driving laws in general are much more strictly enforced in France than the US. All this makes me think that both culture, and general traffic law enforcement has more of an effect on reducing drunk driving fatalities than the minimum drinking age alone.

I think it’s a sensible law because it clearly is a massive problem. I also wish it was 21 in the Uk. Alcohol is one of the worst drugs out there and it is legal. It isn’t good for anyone , even more so for young teens who aren’t fully developed yet. I know so many people that are addicted to alcohol in my friends and family and it is horrific the effects it has.

Funny enough, I don't see that many drunk drivers at the age of 18 (minimum driving age) with 250 on the Autobahn. There is this really clever law that's prevents drivers that have their license less than 2 years or are under the age of 21 from drinking AT ALL (0,0) while driving. That way you don't have any inexperienced or young drivers on the roads while still allowing 16 years old to drink themselves into coma and I think that's wonderful.

My dad did a 1 month job for GM in Detroit, we live in sweden. It was him and two other swedish engineers. So one friday night while they are out eating they decide that they want too walk back to the hotel. Which is a very common thing to do in sweden. If you can walk you usally do. At about halfway they get stopped by a police officer who thinks it's really strange that 3 men are just caually walking down the street. So the police officer starts talking to them in the begining he's a bit suspicious. But soon realises that they are foreigners.. And he asks them why are you walking. To which they answer we have been drinking and didn't feel like taking a taxi. And he proceeds to ask them how much they had to drink and they answer about 3-4 beers each.. And the cop is really confused and ask why aren't you driving.. Too which they answer well becuase we've been drinking.. And in my opinion that kinda sums up the problem with drunkdriving. in the US.

I love how they went ''it's because it's lower in some states and that's bad'' instead of ''it's higher in some states and that's bad''. Like, if they just lowered the legal drinking age to 18 everywhere it would most likely have the same results as making it 21 everywhere.

We get some time to learn to handle our alcohol before we're put behind the wheel of a 2-ton vehicle. In the US, they get to drive at 16, and drink at 21. So they're already allowed to operate heavy and potentially deadly machinery, and only _then_ do they get to learn about responsible drinking and where their limits are. Seems backwards to me.

There's something uniquely American about this problem. See, I'm German-American, so when I lived in Germany, I always thought it was so backwards that Americans couldn't drink until they're 21. Here in Germany you can drink beer at 16, and anything stronger at 18. But I'm starting to see that America has such a personal vehicle dependence. 16 year-old kids can drive cars, which I understand because the United States is such a big country, and the public transportation infrastructure is so poor. In most of Europe, where public transportation is fantastic, there's not much of a threat of drunk teenagers accidentally killing themselves or others, since they don't have access to such devices, simply because we have better alternatives. So I understand that the drinking age is 21 in the United States. What I don't understand is that at the same time, all you have to do is turn 18, and you can buy a semi-automatic rifle, as long as you can provide a valid ID and cash.

You are wrong. You can use guns at any age. Military you do use a weapon until you train and only then until you go to war. You are issued a weapon to use during your deployment then you return it It is not yours and they weapons are closely tracked. Try stealing one. You can drink at any age at home when your parents are there and with their consent. On private land you can drink and fire weapons but not on public land. You cannot drink and drive on public roads but on private land you can. I was driving a tractor and also a 1 1/2 ton truck at 13 on our farm. Also a 250 cc motorcycle.

Back in Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed I started drinking vodka when I was 13 years old with my friends behind our building in the alley. We would buy 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of 1,5 liter soda and cigarettes by 1 piece (not the whole box) and we would buy plastic cups. Usually 7 of us. So we d buy 7 plastic cups to share the soda evenly and as for vodka we would drink it straight from the bottle passing it along to each other. Of course we didn’t have problems driving drunk since we were not of driving age which is 18. So no problem. I think I quit drinking at the age of 23 or something. Now I can drink some wine with friends with good food and that’s all about it. I am 42 now living in Miami. 🎉

the reason drunk driving is such a problem in America is that *almost all of our infrastructure is only built to be navigated by cars.* in all of the other countries with low drinking ages, they have public transit and walkable cities. when you have no way to travel anywhere except by car, you are going to be forced to drive, regardless of your ability or comfort in operating a car. my boyfriend and i hate when he spends the night at my suburban house, because there is nowhere to go get drinks within walking distance. one of us is forced to stay sober and be a DD, which neither of us want to do. uber is expensive and there are no bus routes or sidewalks. young people are ALWAYS GOING TO DRINK. now we need to create safe and affordable ways for them to get home, not just slap a DUI on the ones who make a bad decision when no other option is available, and call the problem fixed. it's just another case of punishing behavior without fixing the reason for the behavior at the source.

Well, meth was given to soldiers in Vietnam to increase their efficiency on battlefield. On of the first instances of that was with German soldiers during ww2. It's a better known fact that it was used in the past, but meth is used in armies to this day

Yeah we have roughly the same rate of drunk driving deaths. Its still a big problem, but I'd say the evidence that their stricter drinking age is helping is pretty slim

The raise in age for alcohol consumption in most Canadian provinces has nothing to do with drunk driving, but a rise in alcohol consumption that caused physical and mental issues and therefore a more strained healthcare system. But evidence it helped reduced health issues in young people are very disputed and actually ended up making pot for recreational use legally. Cities like Toronto or Vancouver, where legal age for buying alcohol is 19 smokes a lot more pot than places like Montreal, where legal age is still 18, and people still rather get drunk than high as a kite. Canada is just an over-sanitized country, sometimes it's madly annoying.

Some are 19 BCs entire age of majority is 19. This was a very "progressive" move back in the day when most provinces had it set at 20 or 21 but nowadays it should be lowered to 17 or 18 because it does hold people back for a year and also makes nearby Alberta a very attractive place to go to college at least for first year as you do get the age of majority at 18 there so its also a competition issue. Age of majority is not always drinking age though. I think Quebec has a lower drinking age then overall age of majority

We have 18 as the minimum age in Britain, with some exceptions in controlled family environments, but I think 21 is quite reasonable given the damage alcohol can do if uses irresponsibly.
