I think that designating drinking age is indispensable because there must be a limit from which buying alcohol is legal. The problem is where that limit should be established and there are many different ideas about that. In France you may buy wine when you end twelve. On the other hand in the USA you mus be twenty-one. it is quite funny because in USA there are no age limits to posses gun. In many countries drinking age is bind ed together with smoking age. I think it is reasonable. In my opinion establishing drinking age is important only to make administration life easier. The age from which we are drinking alcohol is individual feature. of course alcohol is more dangerous for children health but it is hard to say how old you must be to decide about your own halth and drink alcohol or smoke ciggarats. In Poland drinking age is 18 but hardly anyone obey it. It is quite normal in our country that 15 year old teenegers are drinking beer and there is public acceptation for it.
I agree that designating drinking age is highly useful for the society and often to certain individuals. The problem is about the strict age limit because everyone's different and establishing the age too strictly will be unfair for these youngsters that are responsible and indepedent and therefore would be very angry that the government limits their freedom. On the other hand there are many irresponsible young people that only want to intoxicate themselves to be intoxicated and are not mature enough to bear the consequences. They even may be unaware of the change in their behaviour under the influence and therefore it would be dangerous to let these people drink freely. Summa summarum I think that polish law (even if it is unobeyed by many) is ok because it sends a clear message to the addressee and therefore there are some limits in the thinking of the society (drinking beer by people under the age of 15 won't be accepted by the majority of the society).
In my opinion bringing in limit of age in which you can drink alcohol is not any solution. The only way to make society conscious of problems connected with alcohol is education and special programs created not only for youth, but above all for adults. I am not able to see anything improper in drinking wine during dinner with family, even if somebody is under 18. The problem begins, when drinking become the way of solving individual problems. So we should show the young how to tackle with their problems in other way.
