Should the US drinking age be lowered to 18?

"For example, 18-year-olds from Ottawa, ON cross the border to Hull, QC"

I'd be interested to know how many MORE drunk drivers this puts on the road.

It's not exactly that far. I believe there are public transit routes that cross the bridge. :)

I've never lived there myself, but you bring up a good point. I'm sure lots of people do drive drunk across that bridge in the wee hours.

You can take a taxi, for about $5.00 from the bar area in Ottawa to Hull, Quebec. Alternatively you can walk it in about 15 minutes.

Luckily for ride programs you have to cross a bridge and there are cops policing it most weekends.
