The drinking age here in the United States is considered an open-and-shut case. Very few people ever question the wisdom of having the drinking age be twenty-one.

Very few people ever question the wisdom of having the drinking age be twenty-one. Little is known about how that age limit came to be, or how it compares nationally.

The United States’ drinking age is matched in harshness by India and Indonesia, the highest drinking age in the world. The only more harsh status is the total ban of alchohol in a number of Middle Eastern and Northeastern African countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. There are some countries, like Greenland, Kazakistan, and Madagascar, where this is no drinking age at all.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CCD946DC-B5D4-4C56-90B5-367B8130A141/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
