Vox Pop
An Athens-Clarke County commissioner has said he believes teenagers would drink less if they were exposed to alcohol while young. He said it is "ridiculous" that the drinking age is 21. Do you think lowering the drinking age would make any difference?

"No, I do not think lowering the drinking age would make any difference. Leave it at 21." CINDY MEADOWS CPA "I don't think it will. If they're going to drink, they're going to drink. I agree that the parents need to educate their children on drinking. I personally do talk to mine, but I don't think lowering the age is going to make a difference anyway." TARA GEORGE Respiratory Therapist "No, I don't think it would make a difference. I think it would be worse than it is now." BOB DRAKE Retired "I think it will encourage kids to drink at an earlier age." LESLIE MARTIN Retired
