wat if there were no legal drinking limit in the us?

Better question, is... does a legal drinking age really prevents kids from drinking ? You should ask yourself that question. It's illegal to purchase alcohol, not to drink it. If at 16 you take a glass of wine, are you depraved ?

Heck, even if legal is 18 here (take notice that this is not the same for all province/state/country which shows the "quality of such laws), I could enter bar at 15. Okay I look older, but I think many, if not most people, already went into a bar before they were allowed by the law (around here at least).

Hahahaha!!!

I get to drink legalyat the age of 18!!! Go UK!!!

....but most British ppl start to drink at 16 (sometimes lower).

UK is a binge drinking culture. I dont know if US would be ready for such a culture.

If kids wanted alcohol they could easily get it. The fact is kids could drink but actually choose not to. Making it legal would make the appeal of drinking even worse.

Drunk kids can't do shit, there would be no chaos instead there would be shitfaced kids.

Now its a well know fact that noone can hold their alkie like the brits. We're practically breastfed Guiness (Thats proper beer btw, not like that budweisser water you guys get). If Americans had the same drinking age as the UK then nothing would ever get done, lets face it. The intervening years are there for a reason- to let US citizens get used to alcohol and build up a metabolism for it!

Afet all, they are mostly decended from the puritanical brits who left as political refugess (Yup, America is a nation of 100% political refugess from around the world... But I digress) so obviously they're decended from the Brits who couldn't hold their drink.

At least thats my theory.

P.S. As an aside, budweisser, the US's main exported beer, is named after a mid Eurpean family beer. They eventually tried to buy the original, Budvar, but the nation decided to make the company a national treasure to stop them. And it tastes so much better.
