Reduce the Drinking Age to 18!
Sign Now
This group is for those that realize there are logical reasons to reduce the drinking age to 18. There are only 4 countries in the world with a higher drinking age than 18...the USA at 21...Japan at 20...Iceland at 20...and South Korea at 19...
FYI...In Canada the drinking age varies by province...In most of Canada the drinking age is 19...however in the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec the drinking age is 18.
The current legally drinking age was made possible by the 1984 Federal Highway Act. This blackmailed all states into enacting a drinking age of 21 by threatening states with a reduction in federal highway funding if they did not comply. By 1988 every state in the US enacted a drinking age of 21. Contrary to popular belief that this law has saved lives...it has only shifted alcohol related deaths from the 18-20 year old age bracket to the 21-23 year old age bracket.
Now I'm sure you are asking yourself...what can I do to change this?
