      I'm asking about your opinion of its morality, not its legality.

    As kids we were allowed to taste everything.....Like the French my parents had a common sense attitude to alcohol....none of us kids are heavy drinkers.......we all prefer light beers just like our dad....of course we all like Guinness as well.....   :)

    I don't think it's immoral in itself, but can lead to committing acts that are immoral.

    No.  I don't think drinking the wine, like Christ did, is immoral.  I know the drinking age is set with public safety goals, not moral ones.  I do agree that a little drinking diminishes judgment which makes drinking more likely.  Twenty-one is not a magic day in our lives but most of us mature an awful lot in our late teens and early twenties.  I was never in agreement with an 18-year-old drinking law.  All of my European friends think our "21 law" is foolish because drinking is something parents allow or don't.  That system also works.  My best friend's two sons, ages 26 and 16 were coming over to NYC and then travel to Miami and then to Vegas.  When I reminded them about the drinking age limitation here, they chose to go to Spain and Greece.  I don't see why drinking is that important but I was glad they changed their plans since it was important to them.  Like so many things that the militant feminists have ruined in this country, DUI laws are now out of whack in a serious way.

    You could be conscripted or enlist in the military at fifteen in England and be sent abroad to become machine gun fodder for who ever wished to kill them....but God help them if they were caught drinking, as that was bad for their health and who knows what damage they could do with loaded guns.....they could end up shooting at people when inebriated or commit even worse ......More evil atrocities are committed when men are sober I think....:(
