Too young to drink?
At what age should people be allowed to start drinking alcohol? The debate on this
subject died out in the U.S. in the 1980s, but now it’s back – partly because of the Iraq
War. If you are 18 years old, you can elect the president, you can become a soldier and
die for your country, but you cannot buy a drink until you are 21. Does that make any
sense?
When Prohibition* ended in 1933, the “drinking age” – the age at which a person could
legally buy and possess alcohol in public – was set at 21 in most states. Between 1970
and 1975, during the second half of the Vietnam War, many states decided to lower it to
18, 19 or 20.
Then, in May 1980, Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter was killed by a drunk driver.
Lightner started a national campaign called Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
Although the driver who killed Lightner’s daughter was in his 40s, one result of the group’s
work was that all 50 states passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act in 1984,
raising that age to 21. States can still set a lower drinking age, but at a price: They risk
losing ten percent of the money the government gives them each year to build and service
highways. So far, no state has changed its drinking age.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that this law has
made a difference: the number of drunk drivers under 21 who were involved in crashes
resulting in death fell by 61 percent between 1982 and 1998. The NHTSA also estimates
that from 1975 to 2003, having a minimum drinking age of 21 (already in effect in some
states before 1984) saved nearly 23,000 lives on American roads.
Experts argue over how these studies were done, however, and what effect the law has
had. “Just like during national Prohibition, the law has pushed and forced underage
drinking and youthful drinking underground, where we have no control over it,” alcohol law
expert David Hanson told the news organization MSNBC last year.
James McCardell agrees. In 2007, the former president of Middlebury College started the
group Choose Responsibility to push the problem back into public debate. He argues that
education is the best way to reduce teen alcohol abuse, and he would like to see the
drinking age lowered to 18. “Education works,” McCardell told MSNBC in 2007, “but it’s
never been tried. Now you only have to go to a course to stop drinking if you’ve been
caught driving while drunk. That’s not very smart.”
*Prohibition means a period of time between 1919 and 1933 when it was forbidden in the
USA to make, sell or drink any alcoholic beverages.

Mr and Mrs Smith didn’t visit Sarah because

Buenos Aires
The hype about Buenos Aires is well deserved. The steak is out of this world, Tango
classes are everywhere, football matches are intense and the wine is delicious. But its
magnetism extends beyond the cliché. Give Buenos Aires some time and you’ll come to
understand the combination of old-fashioned sensibility and contemporary revolution that
makes the city tick.
See
San Telmo is one of Buenos Aires' most attractive and historically rich residential areas,
with cobbled stone streets and colonial houses. The heart of the area is Plaza Dorrego,
which hosts an antiques market on Sunday. Also worth a visit is Mercado San Telmo, the
old fruit and vegetable market.
The dance Tango has become very popular and classes are available everywhere. Head
to the Barrancas de Belgrano park, where casual dance events take place on Sundays at
8pm. Otherwise, go to Confitería Ideal, which is the mother of all historic tango halls.
Eat and drink
Buenos Aires has a serious café culture and the citizens of Buenos Aires love their café
cortado. Dating back to 1884, Las Violetas is a gorgeously restored café with stainedglass windows and high ceilings.
Parrilla 1880 is an authentic Argentine meat grill in San Telmo, which is popular with
locals. Half a portion of juicy beef is plenty for one person.
The latest Argentine trend is for 'closed-door' restaurants in private houses - puertas
cerradas. Casa Coupage is hosted by two wine experts in their house in Palermo. It's a
superb way to taste Argentine wines expertly matched to local dishes.
Sleep
At Casa Bolivar, 14 spacious studios and loft apartments have been lovingly renovated
into individually styled spaces. Some have original details such as carved doorways and
painted ceilings. Period furnishings and chandeliers complete the turn-of-the-century
effect. There is also a communal patio and many gardens.

The 1930s Miravida Soho, in Palermo, has been modernised to accommodate six
tastefully furnished rooms with French windows overlooking an internal courtyard. There's
a wine cellar and a bar for wine-tastings.
Find your way
The city's black and yellow taxis are the best way to get around. Alternatively, ask your
hotel to book a remise (private car). They are expensive, but more reliable. The
underground system serves most of the city and costs 20p for one journey.
How to go
Iberia flies from London via Madrid (£340). Ezeiza Airport is 21 miles south of the city.
Manuel Tienda León runs a shuttle to town (£7) and a city taxi costs £16.

San Telmo …
A is a slum neighbourhood.
B has a daily Antiques Market on Plaza Dorrego.

yellow.
