I'm a med student, so health related questions I can usually answer pretty well. I also like to think I'm somewhat decent at giving advice. I can also give you an honest opinion."I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, or where I'm gonna wind up. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next."
"I believe in colors. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

I live in Europe.
I'm just wondering why in the states, you have to be 16 to drive...but 21 to drink?
Here, drinking age varies from 16-18 in most places, but as far as I'm concerned you have to be 18 to drive.
Why the big differences?
And also which one would you prefer?
Thanks :)
well i'm 16 with a license and honestly, i don't get it either. we had a huge talk about this in class a few days ago. i heard from someone who lives in europe that kids don't abuse it as much as they do here in the states (correct me if im wrong). so i guess it was just set up that way. personally i would rather be able to drive than drink because i'm a busy person and i'm always out so its more convenient for me even though it sucks not being legally able to drink until 21, and its easy to underage drink anyway, especially if you're with small groups, you just have to have older connections to buy for you.
(Rating: 5) I agree with you. People don't abuse it here. I love the fact that I can go to bar or a club, have a few drinks and have a good time with my friends. It seems as if older people abuse drinking a lot more here...
However the driving I would love too. Sadly I have to wait another two years...and the country where I live driving is just insane :P
Ahah, thanks for the answer.
