1. What is the legal drinking age in your country?

2. Do you think it should be changed, up or down?

1. 18 (UK)

2. I think non-spirit based alcohol drinks should be lowered to 16 in pubs, clubs etc, but not in off licenses or shops. This would encourage 16 and 17 year olds to drink low percentage alcohol in a safe environment. Instead of drinking in the streets, which causes vandalism and other crimes.

I think lowering the age to 16 in pubs would reduce street crime by teenagers. It will also teach teenagers to drink responcibly. It would also help keep pubs from closing down (20 pubs close down every day in the UK). Also, introducing alcohol at an earlier age reduces the likelyhood of that person devloping into an alcoholic.

I agree. Teenagers will get alcohol if they want to, so it would be a good idea to provide a safe environment for them to drink (16, 17 yr olds I mean)

Here in the Netehrlands you can get non-spirited alcohol at 16, and from 18 up you can drink anything you'd like. I think it's fine the way it is.

im from the UK, i think it should be 16 aswell.

I think it should be raised to 21 (cos im 21 :-p)

1. In Sweden it's 18 if u go to drink in bars, but 20 if u go and buy from the liquer store.

2. I think it should be 18 everywhere, or possibly 16 in bars.

21!

I think it should be 18!

1. 21
2. I think it should be left as is. There's way too many drunk drivers already.

21. but i dont really care for alcohol so i dont really care about it

In the US, is the age limit 21 no matter if u go and drink in a bar or buy booze from a liqer store?
