    The more important metric is how many teenagers have already made enough mistakes those 2 years of legally drinking to not consider drinking behind the wheel when they can legally start driving a car.

      Yeah, I’ve always said this:

      Europeans: learn how to drink before learning how to drive.

      Americans: learn how to drive before learning how to drink.

      I think it’s generally safer if the people just learning how to drink responsibly don’t already have licenses to operate heavy machinery…
