The movies are my life's purpose. I will end up in a big filming location someday... either picking up cables, or being in charge.
I'm a Star Wars geek. I listen to Cradle of Filth and Motley Crue. I might have a drinking problem. I watch Nickelodeon on occasion. Sometimes the herb is my best friend. Loneliness and books are close aquaintances of mine.
I'm not an ordinary person... but neither is anyone else.
John M. McCardell Jr., president emeritus at Middlebury College, points out what should be obvious to anybody who has recently been on a college campus. A lot of underage drinking happens. And a lot of people who start binge drinking when they are under 21 keep the habit when they are older.
I don’t have a whole lot vested in this one way or another—but stupid policy annoys me. Perhaps if we dropped the drinking age to 18 people could have some experience consuming alcohol in an environment where there is some social pressure to do so responsibly. Underage drinking will happen either way. Perhaps accepting this would allow some alternatives to everything-or-nothing binge culture.
In Puerto Rico the drinking age is 18. It always has been. However, now nobody can go out drinking after 12am… and considering that most crimes happen before those hours, especially during the day, it’s a pretty stupid government move. Now the biggest industry that the island has, which is rum and tourism, pretty much has no use.
