I made a comment to the issue of the drinking age:
When reading your blog, I was waiting for the line, that if you can die for your country, you should be able to drink. I agree with you 100%. The U.S. is the only country in the world where the drinking age is 21, and I don't understand it. Maybe its because the death rate of college students is rediculous due to alcohol poisoning caused by binge drinking. But who knows? Cause i don't. I've read somewhere I forgot where that the reason the drinking age is 21 is because research was done to prove that human kidneys don't stop growing until we are 21 years old. I don't believe that for a second. But now its time for my opinion. A part of me wishes the drinking age were 18, but the realistic part of me understands why it just can't be. You tell us that younger people drink because they can't do it till they are 21, and its a way for them to feel older, and badass. Lets be honest, thats not the reason. Younger people drink because they see the affects of alcohol on people. Nobody loves to get nuttier more than I do, I'll be honest. But then again, I look to back at all the high school parties I went to and all the kids who thought they were "tanks," with the never ending tolerance. Yeah that was funny, because they were the ones past out in their own vomit. The age group of 16-20 in the U.S. are too irresponsible to drink. End of story.

I think that Silverlight agrees with you and disagrees with Powerade. If you come back here, Silverlight, can you clear up this miscommunication. Did you read beast's words carefully, or did he not make his own opinion clear enough??????
