Raising the legal age for buying alcohol >.<

[quote=Pølsemanden]The danish government is speaking of raising the drinking age from 16 to 18.. Stupid Commy-bastards![/quote]

[quote=Vaan99]And why does it bother you? Like someone will check your birthdate or ID...[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Actually doesn't bother me that much, since i'm almost 18 anyways.. I just think that it's stupid to limit something that doesn't hurt anyone but one self with age.[/quote]

[/quote] Alcohol is at least partly responsible for a lot of hurt to innocent people worldwide. Shouldn't this be in Off Topic?[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Yes, it should. Also, I don't see what's wrong with this. Sounds like a good idea to me.[/quote]

[quote=omagma]I am a 16 year old in Denmark, and i dont give damm.[/quote]

Although to OP there is still nothing stopping you from drinking. Youth will always find alcohol, illegally. Sadly underage drinking is just part of growing up. I did it. I spewed everywhere and got memory loss from nights out. I dunno. I guess there is research that proves/ disproves that a lower drinking age promotes responsible drinking. UK is the worst country in the world for underage drinking. Yet the government does very little to stop it. so I don't think changing the age in Denmark would stop much. Based on the UK. TL;DR- Drinking age wont stop you crazy danes from drinking.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]Its not same for all Europeans. I'm from Europe and its 18 here normally, so Danish would be ones with lowest drinking age. Damn drunk Nords everywhere. And drinking age doesn't even stop anyone from drinking, so yeah, no big change for you anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Brentaxe]In Australia the drinking age is 18. But it's legal if you have consent from a parent or guardian and if the underage person is at the parents house. but as it has already been said if it's illegal it doesn't stop them from drinking it. Just like marijuana use and other illicit drugs.[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]At the age of 16, you can get some low percentage alcoholic drinks such as beer or wine. For the other stuff you need to be 18. I just don't care because I don't drink anyways, but I hear some sick stories of young people drinking, ending up in hospital... Go go Danish government! :P[/quote]
