Whats is your input on Michigan's controversy about the legal drinking age? It is currently 21 for those who don't know and they're trying to lower it to 18. Will the gov. allow this?

I do not think the government willl allow it as there is so much health issue going on in this world with lot of organisation asking the government to be tough of things that cause health problem so unlikely the gov will allow it.

The Feds got all the states to raise their drinking ages to 21 by threatening to withhold federal highway funds until they raised the drinking age. To lower the drinking age to 18 would result in a loss of federal highway funds, which is a pretty good amount of money.

i would hope not, while it won't stop 18 to 21 years old from drinking however, i would hope it would make them think twice about it. the immaturity level of that age could be detrimental to their future. poor decisions/choices could damage their lives forever.
