I'm quite undecided between depending on the beverage or circumstances, or permitting it at any age with restrictions. Probably the latter, I'd only say that as long as the person is consenting of alcohol's effects, they should be able to consume it, but should be taken care of, given the fact that being drunk can lead to several dangerous activities.

A lot of people under the age of 18 will probably be unlikely to handle alcohol sensibly whether they appear to understand its effects or not, which is why I think the drinking age should be 18+.

That's just a generalization. A minor always has someone responsible for their safety. If a child cannot understand the effects of alcohol, then children should also not go to schools because for the same reason they should not be able to understand what's being thaught.

If a child cannot understand the effects of alcohol, then children should also not go to schools because for the same reason they should not be able to understand what's being thaught. It's a significant generalisation and a very accurate one as well tbh. I wouldn't trust 80% of people in my year group at school with alcohol or drugs but a surprisingly large number of them have access to these and a large number of people aren't performing well at school at all. Also a minor usually (not always) has someone who is paying for them to have a roof above their heads and basic life necessities. In some cases there is hardly any emotional/psychological support or proper sense of the parents being guardians and past the age of 12 or so minor's can become very unpredictable and reckless, especially if not looked after properly. Finally my point was that a minor may understand the basic affects of alcohol but that doesn't necessarily stop them from using it recklessly/not responsibly.

They can just drink it. It's no better than with people above the age of 18, or do you think that adults behave perfectly well when drunk? It's the same thing. A 12 year old will not be more dangerous when drunk than an adult when drunk. Banning alcohol for minors is not the way, proper regulations are the way to go.

Alcohol will be more harming for minors than adults, as they are in the stage of developing and growing. Teenagers have far more potential to screw up their lives for later years if they get too involved with drugs and alcohol, which is why it is better to avoid giving it to minors altogether. Adults will generally be more responsible when drinking and they have more personal responsibility so if they choose to become an alcoholic they will be responsible for the consequences (not in all cases).

Adults will generally be more responsible when drinking and they have more personal responsibility so if they choose to become an alcoholic they will be responsible for the consequences (not in all cases). Of course it's more harming for them, but there are many things that are harming for younger people and we still allow them. Instead of banning it for them, we could simply make sure they're aware of the effects. No matter how harmful it is to them, it's their choice. It's like trying to ban suicide. I understand your point of view though, and it is pretty fair. I just think that the best kind of freedom is the one you have and understand. Banning alcohol for minors, though, doesn't stop many from drinking and it's not surprising that so many teens do it. I think that a non-authoritarian education could work, teach the young how to deal with the freedoms they have rather than teaching some things they don't actually need. I must agree that an average adult is more responsible, but again, if we simply warned teens and had someone be responsible for them, taking care of them, I think they should be able to take alcohol. Perhaps dose limits for certain ages? I can see that working well.

I see what you mean, although I still think there would be the reckless teens who would exploit their access to alcohol if it was made legal to them which would have negative effects on society, however big.

Hainosaurus is now congeneric with Tylosaurus. I guess that means that it's Tylosaurus bernardi now.
