Why do Americans think Alcohol is evil?

It is called MODERATION. In the UK we have a few dumb kids but we have lower rates of crime and wrecks. Hell in Germany there is a borderline care free thing about alcohol. And they have no problems. In the States you have a problem with a low drinking age. Yes being a drunk is bad but if you were to teach your kids that moderation it is okay and has health benefits and lower the drinking age you would see less crime and just a better country. Overall I think you guys need to loosen the laws and see what happens. It works here....
