Do you think people on the BW&S section should be legal drinking age? Before they ask stupid questions?

Same for Questions about Tobacco products.

They should verify their age first.

I don't know how many times I see the silliest questions...

I drank this, I drank that, I threw up, I dint get a buzz.

wait til you grow up children, there's all the time in the world for drinking.

There should be a verification of identity I say!

    The problem with that is there are sometimes legitimate questions from underaged users. I don't mind curiosity, and I'm trying to just ignore most of the "How much X will get me drunk?" garbage, but it really is getting old.

    And what about the general English language section, where people from all over the world post.

    How do you regulate that?

    If you set it to US age limits then you are barring most of the worlds new drinkers from posting, and if you set it to 18 you have those U21 allowed to post from the USA making an age limit pointless.

    As for tobacco, I just wish Yahoo would give them their own section so they would stop posting their smoking rubbish in here.

    Just don't get me started on the stoners & junkies who think this is where to post their illegal drugs questions ...Seems yahoo think this is the right place though as they hardly ever delete anything that's reported to them.

    I don't think people need to be of legal drinking age to post here, considering many minors do partake in alcohol consumption. I'm 18 and I do indulge (more often than I should) in alcohol consumption.

    What I think Yahoo needs to do is make a simple assessment test to see if people posting here have the brain capacity to even be using the internet.

    Well, asking stupid questions isn't illegal and it would be a hassle for Yahoo-but I agree these questions and the people who ask them are idiotic.
