Laws about the transportation of controlled substances.

I think it should be treated just like beer and unfortified wine are (in the US).  Taxed, sure. Age-restricted. Available through retail stores (not ABC/state stores).  Available in bars/pubs/etc. And, just like beer and wine, individuals should be allowed to produce up to a certain amount at home annually.  DWI laws already cover driving offenses.\n\nOh, and revenues would roll in from production and sales. Some depressed economies would turn around and become boom economies.  Tax revenues would be enormous.  PLUS!!!  We'd save billions on police, courts and jails by not arresting and jailing people for pot!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, house of me. We never have enough glasses (I'm a total klutz) and I don't go out drinking enough for me to steal them from anywhere.\n\n6 of each would be great, thanks :-)\n\nP.S. Donating them to the local AA meetings would NOT be a good idea methinks...

Ummm....The USA is probabaly the only one that really has one, or actually enforeces it. So a better question would have been, "What coutries do have an age limit on drinking?"

Oh My God how absolutely discusting to serve any level of alcohol to a child of that age. Do we not have enough alcoholics in this world without training our children to become one?? It is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would actually agree to doing a trial of this. What happened to good old fashioned water or milk?? These are both very healthy alternatives to sugary drinks such as cola and do not mean putting drugs( because thats what alcohol is, a drug) into a childs system.

I completely agree.  The United States is very alone in this area.  Most states had a lower drinking age some as low as 17 just twenty years ago!  But some crazy concervatives thought differently so this a new silly law was put into effect in the Regan years.  If all states didn't comply with raising the drinking age to 21, they would lose their federal funding on Highways.......so you are now a victim of a concervative perspective on your alcohol intake.\n\nThe reasoning is flawed and of course so are a lot of other things when it comes to making laws.  \n\nPeace!\n:)

Its a united states law that you have to be 21... doesnt matter what city your in, if your drinking in this country, you must be 21. (with the exceptions in some states that say that if you are married to someone over 21, they can legally purchase alcohol for you or if your with a parent and youre over 18 they can legally purchase it also)

Well people still wanted to drink, so they had to do so illegally which meant sometime purchasing alcohol of dubious origins and purity - so people could get arrested for doing something illegal or could get sick.\n\nIt also help organized crime get a strong grip on the country as they controlled the alcohol and many politicians.\n\nPeople making alcohol at home sometimes had fires caused the distilling liquer in closets, basements etc.\n\nThe alcohol industry was shut down thus causing the loss of jobs.

I am sorry that you miss the heads! last I heard, they sent them to mexico. I guess they use them like they use coconuts down there. like when they put drinks in the coconut shells. so if you go to cancun, or maybe tiajuanna, you can find someone using one as a glass.

This all grew out of the 19th century prohibition movements which themselves grew out of enormous alcohol abuse in the early part of the industrial revolution.   The IR made the production & transport of beer & spirits very cheap & allowed centarlized sales in bars & pubs.  Workingmen would often get off their mining or factory jobs & head straight for the local pub, spending their wages & staggering home drunk to beat their wives.  There was no welfare in those days:  If the wage earner spent the family funds, the family starved.  Prohibitionists & progressives supported closing hours to limit the problem.  WWI provided the perfect opportunity; Britain's Parliament cut day-time & evening hours, ostensibly to reduce absenteeism from defense factories & many US states did the same.  "Wartime prohibition," became popular even in Germany & in Russia where Vodka production was an important source of government revenue.  The US even made flat out prohibition the law from 1921 to 1932.  After the war & after prohibition ended in the US, most governments never went back to the old laissez-faire days.  These days,  the main argument for limiting hours is reduction of noise & crime & drunk driving, though many argue that mandatory closing times actually increase such problems.

because all the illegal immigrants are not picking up there items..due to being deported...and the rednecks are too drunk to drive their 4-wheeler there to p/u their items.

You know I really don't see why not? After all people in Europe are allowed to drink at the age of 16-Germany---and in Mexico the drinking age was 18 until now that it's 21. I think the reason why it's 21 is because people in the US are too freaking retarded and dont' know how to act right. Why in foreign countries the drinking age is lower and they actually have less accidents or anyother problems? Think about that!

Hey only in the USA the drinking age is so high, (and we are not taking into account here the countries were it is completely forbidden, like Muslim countries. They say that you have to be mature enough to handle any problems related to abuse. I other countries this age in lower or it does not exist. I many countries children drink extremely small portions of good read wine (for medical purposes) and they get used to it. I remember that when I was young  (14)my parents bought a bottle of the best wine in the market and I had to drink it alone everyday 20mm, the doctor recommended me. somehow I did not get a drunkard. This issue is very much culture and financially bound. the more problems a person has the more vulnarable he is to alcohhol, so I think that your goverment just knows it and instead of solving these problems it simply establish this high drinking age, and the ID rule

Contrary to popular belief, few states specifically prohibit minors' consumption of alcohol in private settings.\n\nAs of 2005, 15 states do not specifically ban underage consumption and an additional 15 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws.\nFederal law explictly provides for religious, medical, employment and private club possession exceptions; as of 2005, 31 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage possession laws.

If you're looking to go out to drink, then yes, bars and restaurants are open. Otherwise, I think you're out of luck as far as liquor goes. Beer should still be available in supermarkets. Depending on where you are, you could go to New York since their laws tend to be more lax.

If the EU didnt do it the national governments would.  It would be massive loss of revenue for the like of Ireland and Findland where alot of government funds come from the duty on alcohol.
