Obama has started taking public input into items we'd like to see him change at Change.org. There wasn't a drinking age item so I created one. We need 500 votes to move it into the 2nd round.

Kids binge drinking like crazy on their 21st birthday-- we make that age too big of a deal. Ridiculous. Anyways, if we made the drinking age 18, they'd only be binge drinking on 18 shots, instead of 21.... lol.
I don't want the right to pump my body to a BAL of .38, I just want the right to have a goddamn glass of wine at dinner without having to get looks from my parents, or persuade them for that matter.

I GOT ARRESTED JUST FOR TRYING TO GET INTO A BAR, AND NOW IM GETTING SUSPENDED FROM UGA, LOSING MY LICENSE, GOING TO JAIL, GETTING PUT ON PROBATION (PLUS 100+ HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND FINES). I DIDNT EVEN PLAN ON DRINKING, THIS HAPPENED AT 2 IN THE AFTERNOON, I JUST WENT BECAUSE MY 21 YEAR OLD FRIENDS WERE GOING, THERE WAS A COP BY THE DOOR AND ARRESTED ME JUST FOR TRYING TO USE A FAKE ID. NOW MY LIFE IS RUINED.
THERES OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM (LIKE POLICE QUOTAS FOR EXAMPLE, SUCH A BAD IDEA!!! THIS WOMAN WOULD HAVE JUST TURNED ME AWAY AND NOT ARRESTED ME IF SHE DIDNT MAKE MONEY FROM MY ARREST!!!) AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!!!

thank you for making this group.
I'm against underage drinking, but with 21 as such an irrational age how can you expect kids to respect that?
time to compromise and be safe!

I'm currently living in Brazil where the drinking age is 18. Alcohol abuse is a much smaller problem.
