Just chillin’ with Chris right now. Had a couple of beers.

I haven’t had any alcohol in a couple of weeks, but it’s nice just to have one or two.

Ultimately, does the drinking age even matter? I think one does, but it should be under 21. 18 would do well. We just have to teach kids to drink in moderation. Of course they will go overboard at first, but because there is less limitation, less taboo, casual drinking should occur over time. Also, I think maybe for it to be safer and work better, the U.S., has to work on things like building better infrastructures, i.e., better transportation. Less accidents if less people have to drive. Better public transportation (maybe exclusive bus lanes, like in Taiwan, and better bike lanes like Copenhagen?). It would mean money, but I think it would be worth it, and in the end, everyone benefits :3

But I don’t think things will work like that here. Not for a looooong while.

Sometimes it isn’t so sucky to be back to Puritan society. Just odd. I’m not saying the European way is better. But they have the wisdom that comes with age that I hope the U.S. will eventually (and soon) gain.

It amazes me that in a place like Denmark, if a politcal party were to revoke the right for legal abortions, people would be up in arms. People are like that, here, if a party mentions pro-choice stances.

I love that the alcohol age is lower in Europe, not because I can drink, but the attitudes. Of course younger people will abuse it, but rarely to the point that they are in total danger.

What does being in the U.S. teach us? These restrictions imposed only make things worse when kids do get ahold of alcohol. Also, drive-thru (i hate the way this word is spelled) liquor stores? Only in America.
Don’t get me wrong. I love this country and a lot of the values it’s founded upon, but we need to find a happy medium. But all I say is just common sense and redundant.

However, why doesn’t the U.S. gov’t act upon it?

Cuz it’s all taboo in America.
