OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! Once you guys turn 21, grow up alittle bit you will appreciate the 21 to drink rule. I felt the same way until I turned 21. I drink responsibly now, but when I was 18-20 I had a fake ID and to many hormones running through my body. Alcohol and teenage ego equal violence and immaturity. I got in atleast 150 bar room brawls and got convicted (P.B.J ed) for two of them on when I was 18 and the other when I was 20. I never got carded after awhile so I was never carded for them to take my fake ID away. Now all grown up I see young punks doing the same things I did. I realize there too immature and should not drink. Also did you see the sobriety check pt yesterday (Fri.) Do you know in college park the majority of DWI's are under 21////HMMMM just show lack of maturity, and with all the other ovber 21 immature people running around we should not add theproblem.
