Should a person (21 years or older)  be allowed to have 1 drink at a bar (beer or mixed) and drive home?

I agree. At lunch I go eat and have a drink or two with clients, and I drive. Now if I was out to drink I would call a cab or ride with someone.

Yes - for the residents, not the staff!\n\nIt's usually ok for a person to have a drink or two, unless they have a history of alcoholism, and depending on what meds they're on.\n\nIt's quite common for residents to have a glass of Guinness or a drink of punch sometimes.  As long as there's no health or safety risk, there's no problem.

Yes, I do - friends took me out drinking. Ended up drinking way too much - 21 shots of random stuff. Got home, alternated between passing out and vomiting for 3 days. I really do not recommend this as a way of celebrating your 21st birthday. I think I was pretty lucky I was vomiting or I could have easily died of alcohol poisoning.

It's over twice the legal limit for driving in most states.\n\nI think it corresponds to about 9 drinks in a short period of time for an average-sized male, so that seems rather low to be arrested for public intoxication.

In a way yes cuz 21 year olds arnt very mature, and they get drunk and wanna act stupid and cause accidents.Dont get me wrong cuz im 21 myself and all my friends shouldnt drink either, cuz then they like to drive!

Absolutely...if you are old enough to serve in a war, then why can you not go out for a beer??? It is completely insane to me. I served in the military for four years. I was over 21, but had many friends that were not. We were in Iraq for 6 months...Desert Storm, and they could not legally have a beer when they got back to the states??? I do not agree with under age drinking, but if you are serving our country, keeping us safe and free, then by all means, you deserve a drink.

Many times bars give free drinks to people who just turn 21. Have your friends drive you around and watch you get smashed, haha.

I think it is okay, but in moderation.  One or two drinks is fine as long as you don't overdo it.  I'm a Christian and I enjoy having a few drinks with my Christian friends.  \n\nBut Beware.  Some Christians think it is pure evil and will jump on your case, call you a sinner and a drunkard.  If this happens, be polite and go on your way.  As long as you and God are satified with your lifestyle, you have nothing to worry about.  \n\nOther Christians don't get you into heaven.   Jesus does...  Who are they to decide?

The only information i can give you is from the BiiAB level 2 National certificate for personal licence holders handbook for England and Wales. I can't imagine it would be much different in Scotland!\nWhere the alcohol by volume (abv) is over 0.5% it is classed as alcohol for the purpose of licensing law.\nIt is an offence to sell liqueur confectionery to a person under 16.\nSo i guess it wouldn't be included in the legislation because (depending how strong these babies are!) for the purpose of the licensing law it is not classified as alcohol.\n\nDon't know if that helps or not.

if ur old enought to fight and die for your country at 18 then at that age u should be able to buy and drink a beer

Why even bother and take the chance. Its not worth it to even have one and drive. If you're going to drink, don't drive...simple!

If you're undeage it is. It's also illegal to drink while driving. And it's illegal to drink in many public places (such as a state park).

Yes it should. The legal drinking age being 21 does not prevent under age kids from drinking. I drank more when I was under 21 than when I turned 21. If you are a legal adult, and can gamble, join the military, sign a contract, and get married you should be able to legally drink. The problem is not drinking the problem is ones lack of self control.

This is a confusing issue. Until the age of 21 you cannot drink but at the age of 18 you are "legally" old enough to make your own decisions, enter into legal contracts, join the military, buy a home, a car etc. So I would have to say based on the above reasons at 18 you are "legally" an adult.

Get together with a special friend/s and have a good time. But be sure that this/these person/people are special. Since you want to have a good time and something to remember. And PLEASE, if you drink, don't drive. This way you be here to enjoy your 21st.
