Re: Favorite beer.

part of the reason why some American states have such young ages to be able to drive is because in rural areas, kids in help drive farm equipment.

Over here, you can only obtain a driver's license at the age of 18 (you can start learning it earlier though) and the drinking age is at 16, but loosely applied (14 or 15 year olds rarely have problems with obtaining alcohol).."

Eh, I agree, 8 is too young, but it was to press a point. Over here, in the farm states, a 12 yoa is given a farm drive permit. ANY 14 yo can get a learners permit, and ANY 16 yo can get a full drivers liscense. The drinking age is 21 yo. And, underage drinking ie rampant. You can figure it out. The US has probably the highest DUI rate of any country.

I suggest dropping the drinking age completely. (ATM, it is illegal for a parent to give their own child any alchohol, if the child is under 21), I suggest letting minors learn their limits, and how to handle the booze, BEFORE we let em drive. You can raise the drinking age to 30, and we will still have major problems with DUIs in the 30 to 34 range. When the drinking age was 18, we had high rates of DUIs in the 18 to 22 range. Now that the drinking age is 21, we have high rates of DUIs in the 21 to 25 range. Seems there is like a 4 year learning curve. I see the pattern. Let em drink at 12, and give em liscences at 16, problem solved. Or, pick  any ages 4 years apart.

Re: Favorite beer.

i don't think anyone should drink alcohol.  However, I agree that having strict rules and laws about drinking only encourage the idiots who like to drink to abuse it.  Therefore, i believe drinking laws are only hurting society as a whole and should be lightened or at the very least allow the states to decide the drinking age. 

On another note drinking is a disgusting and absolutely deplorable activity for anyone to partake in.  when people talk about it they sound like idiots.   idiot says,"DUDE I GOT SOOO WASTED LAST WEEKEND IT WAS SOOOO AWESOME" I say,"Well what did you do that was so awesome?"  idiot says,"I DON'T REMEMBER MAN I WAS SOO WASTED".  I can not stand those people.  It is absolutely pathetic to see young people doing it also.  even social drinking is disgusting.  They become absolute idiots and can no longer think correctly.  I hate it.

Re: Favorite beer.

theres a difference between drinking and binge drinking, Soth. saying drinking is deplorable because some idiots binge it is like saying eating is deplorable because some people binge it.

aside from the great taste of many beers; drinking opens people up and allows more lively social interactions between individuals. and when drinking is done responsibly there is no ill effect.

Re: Favorite beer.

Agreed, Soth i believe that maybe your true frustrations come about maybe because you can't handle your alcohol? People don't invite you to drink with them, thus you feel some kind of way about it? You just cant let go every now and than and relax and enjoy some of the things the good god has planted on this earth? And there are medical expects to alcohol believe it or not, so actually it's healthy for you when used in moderation.

I myself enjoy drinking, more or less by myself. I don't consider myself depressed (as people that drink alone as usually depressed) but rather i can understand things more when i do so. Actually i've made most of my life changing events while drinking, decided to go to college, put my mind towards becoming a nursing assistant at the age of 16 and accomplishing something many years ahead of my friends, the list goes on.

Re: Favorite beer.

the analogy you gave, avo, is a poor one.  Alcohol is a mood and mind altering substance and because of that it is incredibly easily abused.  Also the fact that a vast number of people go to it as a fix to their problems is another ill effect of it.  The only responsible use of a substance like that is none at all.

Re: Favorite beer.

according to http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2005/few-americans-diagnosed-as.html

researchers estimate 8% of Americans are dependent on alcohol.

according to http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/healthmedical/a/hhsobesity.htm

64% of americans are overweight or obese.

clearly food is more easy to abuse.

OMFG people like you are part of the problem.  encouraging people to use a mind altering substance. 

do you want to know where my anger and rage towards alcohol comes from???  fine.  when i was young i had some cousins that would come to my house and stay the night sometimes the weekend.  I never really knew why they came over so often until one night my father rushed out of the house really fast and didnt say why he left.  then he came back with my cousins.  it was late so i moved out of my bed and took the couch.  later that night their father, my uncle, came to our house drunk and angry.  i was only seven at the time and i remember being really scared because he stared pounding on the window in the living room where i was.  my dad came downstairs and told me to go to my room with my cousins. when i went into my room they were crying and scared out of their mind.  the cops had to come and take him away.  I later found out that my uncle would get drunk and was a happy drunk for the most part.  the kind of guy who goes to a bar and does karaoke then goes home and passes out.  then when he lost his job and became really angry.  My Aunt divorced him and got custody of my cousins. 

I don't see a benefit in wasting your time with the stuff. oh and those studies that show health benefits of alcohol.  why dont you check who sponsored those studies. you might be surprised.

and the availability of fast food and trans fats have nothing to do with that now does it?  also, why does abuse have to stop at dependence to a substance?  Being plastered is abusing alcohol, drunk driving is an abuse of alcohol.

not only that but the abuse of alcohol not only hurts you but it hurts other also

708,000 people are hurt in alcohol related crashes annually.

binge eating is a problem no one doubts that however no one can doubt that alcohol causes more damage.

Re: Favorite beer.

"binge eating is a problem no one doubts that however no one can doubt that alcohol causes more damage."

woah, woah, woah. we arent talking about binge eating, like we arent talking about binge drinking. we're talking about plain old eating just like we're talking about plain old drinking. and eating has caused 64% of Americans to become overweight or obese, 708,000 people hurt from accidents doesnt touch that. if you think our drinking is a bigger problem then our eating, you are in a very small minority my friend.

even if you still thinking drinking is worse. you cant claim its way worse. 64% of 301 million people is alot more then 708,000...

Re: Favorite beer.

still a very poor analogy.  We dont need alcohol to survive.  Therefore, alcohol use is an unnecessary burden people place on themselves.  really the fact that more people are overweight is only a testament to the success of this country.  People tend to be overweight when the presence of food  is prevalent.  Food is not a harmful substance.  Alcohol, by its nature, is.

those 708,000 people were hurt by something that wasn't under their control.  over eating is an individuals problem.  Our country shouldn't be in the business of legislative parenting.  therefore, those 708,000 people take priority over the benign problem of those people being overweight.

Re: Favorite beer.

Food is a harmful substance; its made 64% of us overweight or Obese. alcoholic beverages can be very good for you when you have it in moderation.  Alcohol use is only a burden when its abused, just like food is only a burden when its abused. we dont need food to survive, we can get all of our nutrients through needle.

lol avo your a fool sometimes.  and no we can't get all of our nutrients from a needle.  take a look at a person in a coma with a tube going into their stomach.  your defending a dead argument and its foolish.  There is no health benefit of alcohol, i say this because the adverse affects of alcohol always counter any health benefit(if any at all). however, food is very healthy for you.  In fact food can change your entire life.  There is such a vast number of healthy variations of food.
