Back in the day, the law was you could learn to drive at 16 (15 3/4) years old, and learn to drink at 18 (which meant earlier for many teens). Instead of raising the driving age, which is probably enforceable, we raised the drinking age to 21, which is much more difficult to guarantee. <br /><br />It is fairly common in Europe for the driving age to be 18 (and the drinking age to be much younger), so hopefully kids already know how to manage their alcohol before getting behind the wheel.<br /><br />That said, problem would also be solved by cars that drive themselves.David Levinsonhttp://blog.lib.umn.edu/levin031/transportationist/noreply@blogger.com
