When I first went to New York I was 19 and didn't have any trouble getting served at all, it was ****ing brilliant, I had no idea how late the bars were open until so me and my mates got absolutely ****ing paralytic by about 4 in the morning the first night. And every night after.
In any case, I really don't like the American way of doing it though, it seems stupid to put such a high age limit on booze and then trust children to drive around in a ton's worth of metal at pace and hope they don't kill anyone with their stupidity.
Whether you're ultimately a sensible drinker or a pisshead, when you first start drinking everyone gets a bit silly now and then and while it can be dangerous and accidents still happen even when it's just a few kids drinking tinnies in the park, most of them are unlikely to then get in a car. I think it's a lot better to have time to guage your drinking limitations and have the novelty of getting drunk wear off as you grow up with it and act less childish about it (as we all act, when things are new and exciting to us) and then learn to drive, rather than the other way round.
In any case, even if there are some limitations with the driving permit, it still boils down to kids driving cars, and I am not comfortable with that. |
