There’s been quite a bit of talk about lowering the drinking age limit for people who serve in the military. The argument posed is that these people are young enough to shoot guns, serve and die for the U.S., so why not allow them to drink legally? Of course, organizations like M.A.D.D. consider this to be a foolish idea. They’re just not mature enough to think logically when they get behind the wheel after a few drinks. Is it indeed foolish to legalize drinking for active duty military younger than 21?

States such as Wisconsin and South Carolina have pushed for allowing active duty military under 21 to drink. There are even groups on the internet collecting signatures via social networking website such as MySpace and Facebook so that they can get a measure on the ballot to lower the drinking age limit.

On some military bases like Camp Pendleton near San Diego, marines are already allowed to drink when they’re on base. However, some business owners and residents have already noticed that there more problems with drunk driving in the area of Oceanside. Although military personnel can drink on base, once they step off military property they’re subject to the 21 age limit law.

Many argue that no matter what drinking laws there are, people are going to find a way to buy and drink alcohol. I’ve witnessed teenagers pay people over 21 to buy them a drink. If you live in a city like San Diego which is close to the Mexico border, you’ll see thousands of young people heading down to the bars in Mexico to drink.

In any case, it all comes down to the maturity level of young adults who are given the opportunity to drink. It’s up to them to be responsible and learn the consequences of their actions. This means better education and harsher penalties for those who break the drinking laws.
