Really interesting WIKI about drinking ages

[lartinos]

Did I read that right? A higher % of people die from alcohol poisoning in Saudi Arabia then Ireland!
Drinking laws may do more harm then good.

American soldiers?

That list is somewhat incomplete though.

Russia and Australia aren't on that list, both heavy drinking countries.

I would say that alcohol consumption, especially excessive drinking by our young people causes a huge amount of health, social and criminal problems.

Problems with alcohol related violence are enormous and constant.

Not related but do you know how many people have been charged/convicted of steroid related (so called roid rage) violence here?

Have a guess.

That's because no one is going to be prosecuted that way. The handful of people who do use the crazy stuff and act angry are being busted on more routine charges.

I bet no one has been convicted of "amphetamine-related violence" either.

How long after that before you started abusing benzos?
