Having said that, there should be restrictions. I do not believe someone under 18 should be allowed to drink in a bar. I support existing laws about losing your license on a first DWI under 18 (at least that's what it is in IN).
That sounds good to me. Driving drunk is one of the stupidest and most selfish things to do and I, too, like the idea of zero tolerance for it, as in Indiana.

But, as Bunz stated, it is a state decision.
