Does the drinking age for men need changing?

Wow. We're getting more open with sexism so long as it's against men.

Might as well ask "Do firearm laws for blacks need changing?"

Men and women respond to alcohol differently. Study after study shows this.

What this has to do with the minimum drinking age, I have no idea. Actually, it seems counter-productive. Horribly counter-productive, actually.

Not that it matters, people are going to break the legal drinking age, damn the consequences, no matter what that age may be. I personally think there shouldn't be an in-home age, and a 14-16 year old public drinking age.

If you looked at the amount of rapes that happened while young women are drunk you'd think they would increase the drinking age for women by this logic.

How about we just warn men: "Don't sleep with any students while in college!" That's really what is going to be the safest move for college males in this country. At this point it's rape if she's drunk, it's rape if the next morning she realizes she made some mistake and regrets having sex because the man is ugly and/or she had a boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancee/husband/wife, or any other fucking excuse to absolve women of the consequences of their actions.

So let's just warn men, don't sleep with college students. Fucking that really good looking classmate might seem like a good idea, but the moment you and her are alone together you stand the chance to be accused of raping her, even if you never laid a finger on her, it's her word over yours and due process won't exist because when it's a college campus, a rape claim and a female accuser with no evidence you are fucked. So go off campus and fuck those women. Let those women either get each other off, themselves off, or let them grow frustrated and make the next new frenzy to make the news be something about how no one is sleeping with the college coeds anymore. I can't wait to hear about that one. A bunch of sexually frustrated feminists who are claiming that men really are put off by smart women so they are sleeping with the women their age who didn't go to school. Forgetting that sleeping with a college feminist is asking to be accused and punished for rape, even when it's consenting sex.

I don't see the connection between the tittle of the link and the actual article. Yes the cite males often but they don't actually seem to be talking about raising the drinking age for one gender or the other.

This is a misleading title.

Wow.

The legal drinking age should probably be 18. It works well in Canada and is more in line with the laws regarding adulthood here in America.

I have absolutely no evidence for this and it's just my opinion, but lowering the drinking age would probably lead to fewer college kids dying from alcohol poisoning and alcohol-related incidents. Just think about it for a second, if they were allowed to drink sooner they would have time to safely drink and get used to the effects of alcohol as well as learn their limits. They wouldn't have to sneak off to parties full of people hesitant about calling the police in the case of an emergency because of all the underage drinking going on.

Yea, I think the minimal age for beer and wine should br 16 and18 for everything else.(of corse for men and women)

This is part of the reason why herald sales have been down for years. Its a shit paper with crap content.

On the plus side its nice to see something local for a change, GO CANADA.
