Boca Raton is anti-business. Simple. I won't be basing my business there. Loss of tax revenue for them. There are other worthy cities deserving of my tax revenue.

Drinking age should be 18!

At 18 your old enough to die for this country!

Look at other countries around the world! The land of the free! Yeh right!

It's all about control, and nothing more!

Its about time, no reason at all anyone under 21 should be in a bar since they can't drink anyways.
Alcohol is already heavily taxed, thats not the answer. I kind of agree with the poster that says if your old enough to die for the country you should be able to drink. Maybe a provision that allows active service members under 21 to drink, wouldn't be hard to enforce, they are required to carry the green military ID at all times already.

They may be old enough to defend this country ... but they are too immature to handle their liquor…

I used to frequent murphys, it used to be a good local bar with an occasional college age crowd. Tice turned it into a FAU underage bar and honestly let it become a dump. Bathrooms always stank and were torn up after underage nights. I dont wish anyones business to suffer but this place has been going downhill for years.

Hey I am for that law too! You must be under 21 to have issue with this. You will have your whole life to drink waiting 2 years to get into a bar wont be the end of the world.

you dont need underage people in a bar. You make your most money off the triple priced drinks, so where is the loss?

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Scorpio

It will be easy to let things get on top of you today, especially if you're already feeling rather tired and listless. Do yourself a favor and keep away from anyone who often makes you feel a bit fed up or defensive, because they're the last person you want to be around at the moment. They'll make your spirits sink down to your ankles in a flash, and who needs that?
