If they can their lives and serve in the military at 18, they should be allowed to drink at 18.

Raising the drinking age to 25 or 30 might be even better. I'm sure many would disagree with that, but I think younger people often demonstrate an inability to drink "responsibly." These days, very few people are willing to take any responsibility for their actions, and this is especially true of younger people, who haven't yet learned that the rules apply to them. And I believed the same way when I was in my teens, and saw my "peer group" constantly getting drunk and disorderly, driving crazy and getting into fights. And while I don't think we can blame all of that on the media and bad parenting, those are two important factors that seem to make ever younger kids think that it's OK. They want to emulate their elders and be "grown-up" and think that part of that maturity comes when they can prove they can hold their liquor. Not so, kids.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
