Here's an article that caught me a bit by surprise. When's the last time you heard someone argue that the drinking age should actually be lowered? Leave it to the good old Herald to try to be provocative douche bags merely for the sake of trying to be provocative douche bags. Don't forget to read the article's comments for your daily dose of tea baggers turning a non-partisan issue into a discussion about how it's all Obama's fault!
I'm torn on this one. On the one hand...
- ...if there's a chance it might do some good by bringing the drinking out of the locked dorm room and into the bar, where drunk kids can be taught not to act like assholes by professional drunks who will punch them in the face when they get too stupid, why not give it a whirl?
- ...experts in the field agree that gold digging and cradle robbing rates will skyrocket, effectively tripling in six months or less. This is great news for dirty old men, NBA stars, and those of us for whom people watching is a spectator sport.
- ...it creates a whole new class of bar patron to make fun of.
But it's not all peaches and cream, and I'll tell you why, dagnabbit...
- ...incidents of man-on-jukebox violence due to overexposure to Justin Bieber will intensify seven-fold.
- ...many middle aged hoochies will find themselves either out of work or settling for men in a much lower income bracket (which, come to think of it, might actually be a good thing for most of the people I associate with).
- ...teenagers are stupid.
I think the cons have it. The thought of being in a bar full of eighteen-year-olds is enough to make me want to give up the booze and switch to cocaine. We cannot allow this to happen under any circumstances. It would be the barpocalypse, and I don't think I've got enough Maker's Mark stashed away to survive.

I purposely didn't read that article because I know she is an idiot and doesn't make sense in her articles and on her radio show.
