Earlier this week the province of Quebec announced that they would be lowering their legal drinking age to 14. To find out more host Peter Oldring spoke with Alain Rousseau from the Societe des Alcools du Quebec.

Implying that age actually limited people to drink alcohol.

P.S: If it was true, would be funny because they are considering increasing the drivers test age requirement to 21 because we're such bad drivers.

If you think about it, atleast it reduced the amount of 14years old drinking.

In quebec, legal drinking age is just a suggestion anyway.
I was buying beer at 15 without any fake IDs... they just dont ask for it.

No, I suppose there's merit to that, sure.
I don't think there'll be a terribly large increase in the amount of kids drinking, as much as a rise in the amount of alcohol addiction.

Meanwhile, they explain their Future goals of lowering it to Toddlers. Load up that Sippy Cup parents. Time to get that little Bastard hammered for the first Time!
