Lower the Drinking Age on Base to 18?

[Muppet]

I am torn. I drank at 18/19 when I got to Bragg. I acted the fool, barracks retardism and by the time I turned 21, I was burned out. I feel that of you are old enough to serve you're country, you should be able to drink. I also feel that w/o people to watch your six, it sets you up for failure. Like, buddy fuckers that allow you to get retarded and do really stupid shit or junior NCO's that want to fuck you instead of having you're back when you do retarded shit cause lets face it. We all have acted like jack asses while on the juice. That's my 2 cents...

F.M.

@Marauder06 , MD wants same. Odd for such a blue state.

Just something to consider - should the legal drinking age be a State responsibility?

After all, it was a Federal Mandate that threatened each State into raising the drinking age.

Definitely. There needs to be less fed and more power at the state level.
