<p>It’s England but last night’s news show on teen sex was similar.</p>

<p>The cultural differences from here to there are pretty significant. Pub culture is still the dominate entertainment among adults, and it starts at 16 (or sometimes younger) there.</p>
<p>It’s reports like this that make me scratch my head about those who maintain that lowering the drinking age would be some sort of panacea with respect to binge drinking and other societal problems related to drinking. England is actually considering raising the drinking age as a means to combat this problem.</p>
<p>If you think English youth culture does not come to the US you weren’t alive in the 60’s. We may not have pubs for 16 year olds but we have plenty of field/house parties and drugs.</p>
