Drinking Age Debate - Waynesboro, MS

When a teenager comes to that age they feel like adults only to get told they can't do everything they want wich is messed up on the governments part

18 year olds have a hard time making the right decisions without adding alcohol to the mix! I have an 18 year old...and while she is very mature for her age, she is still a child and still makes child-like mistakes, as they all do at 18!

At 18, their brain cells are still developing, they don't really mature until age 21. So why kill already developing brain cells?

what's the point to this forum? wayne county is a dry county, so it's a moot subject. sadly, many of the people who rally so hard to keep wayne county dry have enough alcohol in their own homes to start their own bars...hypocrits. also, what about currently serving military personell? their old enough to die for their country, so aren't they old enough to drink? and a historical fact: once upon a time 18 year olds, who are classified as adults, were legally allowed to drink until others decided they were not grown up enough to make their own decisions...never understood that

You are an adult legally at age 18 and you are able to join the Army. That is old enough.
