The Slice: Raise Drinking Age To 60
They should raise the drinking age to 60. This would be good for society in many ways. Assuming it could be enforced, this would make roadways safer and relieve young people of any notion that their fake ID cards are
even remotely plausible. Fewer TV commercials would be aimed at impressionable lads who apparently believe that consuming certain brews makes one attractive to fetching women in tight tops. Attending sports events would be a more civil experience. The woo-hoo factor in motorized water recreation would be tamped down. And there would be an added benefit you might not have considered. For those of us who were suddenly underage because of the new law, this would afford an opportunity to relive the heady experience of buying beer when you were not legally old enough to do so/

Question: If you were king of the universe, would you raise the drinking age from 21? What age would you like to see the drinking age?
