I don't think they should lower the drinking age but I also don't think that they should be able to join the military or vote before what age is appropriate for what they consider to be of "adult age". Therefore if they think you should be able to put your life on the line for the country at 18 then yes - get a beer and a shot by all means; but if you will imagine the situation lower down and ponder it.
You have been drinking and can't drive at all to get home; you can hardly see and so on.
There is 5 people who can drive you home but they too have been drinking and you have no other choices but they each say they are sober enough to get you and themselves home safely. Sex has not been defined because I wanted to mainly concentrate on the age not the gender of the driver.
Car #1. An 18 year old - bac unknown (as in all these)
Car #2. A 19 year old - same
Car #3. A 20 year old - same
Car #4. A 21 year old - same
Car #5. A 22 year old - same
Which car would you most likely get into and feel that you would get safely home?
