This is in no way meant to be construed as support for drinking and driving, but as i said while in the army, if you can give your life for your country at 18, you should be able to have a beer in it.

Denmark had no minimum drinking age until a few years ago. Before that their drinking problems were dwarfed by the problem in the U.S. Now the drinking age is 16 and they are now having many problems. They also do not tolerate drunk driving. Caught once and you never drive again.


Denmark must have a great public transportation system to get away with that. Murderers eventually go free though, right?

"Caught once and you never drive again."

And an authoritarian-loving drone like you loves that, right?

Is this the same as no pain no gain?

"It's just not changing."

No! Really? And you're surprised? Why?
Didn't take many courses in Social Psychology did you?
