: TalkLeftObama: No Lowering of Drinking Age
By Jeralyn
Barack Obama today told war veterans he won't lower the drinking age.
Army veteran Ernest Johnson, 23, of Connecticut, said one of the things that peeved him before he turned 21 was that he couldn't come home and drink a beer _ even though he was old enough to serve in the armed services and die for his country.
Obama told Johnson he sympathized, but that setting the legal drinking age at 21 had helped reduce drunken driving incidents and should remain.
As I noted here, more states are considering lowering the drinking age. Sounds like Obama has fallen for the myths about underage drinking.
