Exactly, that is how so many 18 years olds are messed up cuz they haven't learn about the alcohol yet.. So that is how they changed from 18 to 21 years old. Really to me, it don't matter. Still it's not working.. Look what happened to Paris Hilton, was that helpful from preventing DUI? No, so many people are involved DUI in the U.S. I wouldn't be surprised whoever being young like 12 to 14 years old that parents let them drink that would be VERY rare to be DUI involved.
 
56 is young. I know one who drink all his life and he is 90's. He is very healthy and perfect body.

Depent what kind of drink..Health and poor? Beer is not health and wine is more health. All depends what type of drink. I am 30's :)
So, I'm already 20 healthy years ahead of you! :P
 
I voted no.

I don't think it is healthy for the kids to drink alcohol.
 
I vote no.

I don't think it is healthy for the kids to drink alcohol.

You know that drink alcohol is allowed in UK for 5 years old or over with parent.

How is surprised? According on The Highlander, he said wines are healthly for you.
 
I was wonder what is legal limit in Europe?. .12 or ???

I don't believe there was any drinking limit because I know that in Sweden and Germany. They usually throw a huge festival where all men would drink a l o t.

A little bit off the point, I am sure this will surprise many Americans. In England, you have to pay for T.V. license or you will not be allowed to own a T.V. They limit on how many T.V. you can have and you can not have more than 5 t.v.

Honestly, the only reason why they didn't get too much DUI is because not all Europeans have cars. They usually walk, ride on a bus, or use a train to the pub. I was in England for six months and I've travelled other countries. I kept telling my American friends not to bring a big suitcase because they will have to carry it everywhere by stairs. (No elevators arent that popular over there as they are here.
 
Website from Europe as I born there. I voted yes. Good for them to learn. I drink when I was very young as under 10, I think and I have no problem with drink for now.

Most of my friends who start drink 18-20 age and out of control. That's how many students drop off from college due drunk too much from party.

You don't see why American have more DUI than Europe?

True, good food and good wine are a natural part of Europe culture, that's how we grow up with wine or beer as a normal part of life. (not heavy spirits).

Europeans know how to enjoy themselves without causing trouble when they drink alcohol and more civilized because they learn at early age.

That's why teenagers learn how to respect when it comes to alcohol, or similar substances. In Europe, most parents can sit down with their child and have a beer or glass of wine during meal. It’s about respect and open and broad-minded, that's how they learn to act maturely.

I prefer to educate children to open mind and respect anything than hide something from them. Its teach moderation and responsible drinking at a very early age is the best.

How can we expect children to be responsible about this sort of thing when adults aren’t? Teenagers have the chance to experiment at this age and up to a point I think they should be allowed to.

The study shows that the strict parents were with alcohol in the home, would more likely the children suffer from alcoholism later as the strict laws would cause people later abuse. We know that forbid young people to drinking does not work. All what they do is learn to handle their responsible how to limit and respect alcohol.

If you treat young adults like children, they will act like children.

Yes, true that red wine is health only if you drink moderately. (Good for LDL cholesterol and heart, blood, Anti-aging). White wine is good for lung.
 
I voted yes.

Who says that these young people cannot drink responsibly? Of course they can only if they are properly educated about the responsiblity, they will be more likely to make intelligent decisions. It´s an exactly same as sex education because they belongs to health issues.
 

No this has to be wrong because I was in England 2006. I asked what were their legal drinking age they all said 15.

Well, I was born and raised in England.

The young people under 18 is not allow to go pubs or buy alcohol without an adult. Underaged children can drink alcohol with a meal in a restaurant with their parents or the parents orders it for them or go pubs with parents.
 
I voted NO... being alcoholic ususally starts at home.... My late husband was alcoholic.. he joined AA meetings to stop drinking.... i went there to support him.... i heard all stories was told in the meetings.. they start drinking at younger age such as 9 yrs old in home and ended up alcoholic....
 
Europeans tend to walk and take transport on the train more than Americans because roads are too narrow there.

Ha Ha, far from the truth, anyway there are real reason there are plenty of transport available at every few minutes to pick up lots of passengers at all hours.

When I lived in England, I can drive but don't see the point of own a car as I am happy using public transport knowing I will wait for up to 15 minutes to catch a bus/train, and underground tube every 1 to 5 minutes.

In Australia, it is hopeless at night, one train every hour or so, forced me to buy a car as there are not enough people around here. I told lots of British who came here for a holiday or to live, they should buy/hire a car for this reason.

True, public transport is better in England than Germany.
 
I'll say yes.. as long as they're 16 and older, and the parents are around to make sure it's in moderation and not excessively overdoing it.

Where is his link to back that up ? I would like to read. :)
 
I say no. There's plenty of other food & drink to live a healthy life by.

Other one link isn't from wikipedia, that's from government website.
Alcohol, your child and the law : Directgov - Parents

I had been in London at once in 1995 and we had wine for our dinner.

Both of your link isn't associate with government, just all are media.

According on government website, drinking alcohol can be given to children that who is over 5 years old with parent but it's illegal for under 5 years old to do that, also your link were mentioned that drinking alcohol is legal at Pubs or other place is much later than 5 years old.

I had followed on their website and doesn't start to argue with me.
