Underage Drinkin

[KiLo]

I live in Ohio and just a couple months back this guy got his liscense taken after his 17th DUI.

And if you get a DUI here then you get a yellow liscencse palate with red writing. It looks kinda like a christmas liscense plate.

Odd :/ I didn't think it was offensive, but either way, you'd expect it to slide in off-topic.

not going to read everything just going to let everyone know why its 21. its proof that drinking at the age of 1-20 kills a lot more brain cells then after 21. thats it plan and simple. they do it so you dont end up like a retard for drinking before your 21.

Does Drinking Alcohol Kill Brain Cells?

by David J. Hanson, Ph. D.

The idea that alcohol kills brain cells has long been promoted. The early temperance writers made this assertion and also insisted that the alcohol in their blood could cause “drunkards” to catch fire and burn alive. 1 This combustion argument against drinking was dropped long ago but many anti-alcohol writers continue to promote the idea that even moderate drinking causes brain cells to die.

Scientific medical research has actually demonstrated that the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive (thinking and reasoning) skills and memory than is abstaining from alcohol. Moderate drinking doesn’t kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old age. Studies around the world involving many thousands of people report this finding. 2

Of course, years of alcohol abuse can cause serious neurological damage, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Harm can be done to message-carrying dendrites on neurons in the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in learning and physical coordination. But even in such extreme cases, there’s a lack of evidence that alcohol kills brain cells. 3

However, abstinence after chronic alcohol abuse enables brains to repair themselves, according to new research involving rats. 4

During simulated alcohol “binges,” rats’ ability to create new brain cells was reduced. But after the animals no longer consumed alcohol they had a “huge burst” in new brain cell development. The study is the first to demonstrate that brain cell production can return after abstinence from alcohol abuse.

People who drink too much and are thinking about either reducing or eliminating their drinking should find these findings encouraging, although humans have not yet been tested directly for the positive brain effects.

Of course, no matter what science says, I have to ask...
Question: Who should have the right to say what any person does to themselves, safe or not, as long as they are not harming others.

Answer: No one, but the individual, should have the right to dictate what a person does to one's self as long as the person is not harming others.

AMERICAN ADULTS AGE 18, 19 AND 20 CAN MARRY, ADOPT CHILDREN, SERVE ON JURIES, ENTER INTO BINDING LEGAL CONTRACTS, OPERATE BUSINESSES, EMPLOY OTHERS, GO TO PRISON, BE EXECUTED, OBTAIN ABORTIONS, ENGAGE IN LEGAL GAMES OF CHANCE (GAMBLE), HUNT WITH DEADLY WEAPONS, FLY AIRPLANES, DRIVE AUTOMOBILES AND OTHER VEHICLES, PURCHASE PORNOGRAPHY, VOTE, AND RISK THEIR LIVES BY SERVING IN THE UNITED STATES MILITARY. HOWEVER, THEY CAN’T LEGALLY ENJOY A DRINK.
AGE 21 IS ACTUALLY THE HIGHEST MINIMUM LEGAL DRINKING AGE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AND IS A RADICAL SOCIAL EXPERIMENT BOTH INTERNATIONALLY AND IN TERMS OF OUR OWN NATIONAL HISTORY.
