[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 186845, member: 1233"] I live in a college town. Have since age 13 when my mom got a professor's position at the University. I turned 18 the year they made it 21 to drink. It didn't matter to me because I worked at a small business and SOLD beer. For graduation my boss gave me a few CASES of beer and wine cooler. I didn't drink. Maybe a wine cooler once in a blue moon, but not usually. Our police have ALWAYS been very vigilant about underage drinking. They don't let anyone slide. Never have, that I know of. this includes the campus police, the city police and hte county sheriffs. I am TOTALLY against lowering the drinking age. We are finally seeing real results on combatting drinking and driving. I don't want to be around if they lower the age to drink. I DO think that ANYONE serving in the military should be able to buy any kind of alcohol and get into any club, period. If they can put their lives on the line to serve in this time of war, they should have ALL the rights of any other adult. My state HAS 3.2 beer. It is ALL you can buy outside a liquor store. You still have to be 21 to buy it. Many people from our state are really taken aback when they travel and order a beer. Simply because other states have beer that is 6%. Oh, Smokey and the Bandit was about bringing Coors beer to the East. Coors was not sold in many areas until well after that movie came out. It still wasn't very good beer, but it was regionally distributed only. As it was sold in Oklahoma at the time of the movies, it was available in 3.2% alcohol, though it was also available in 6%. I ONLY know this because a friend had a dad who was a bigwig in his field and he paid a guy to go to a state that sold Coors and bring a trunk (car trunk) full of it back for a party - and I helped my friend's mom serve at the party. I do think that if enough people age 18-21 cared to legally drink, they would vote to change it. But few people in that age group vote. [/QUOTE]
