What are your feelings on drinking? (alcohol), should pubs have limits to how much they can serve each person?

Should people under 18 be allowed to drink?

I think, drinking is not as bad as smoking, as long as it is in small ammounts. If you get absolutely pissed, you are dangerous, you can't think straight and you could end up doing something really stupid. Pubs should keep a closer eye on people, and only serve a certain ammount. They should forget about their profit for a minute, and concentrate on peoples health. Drinking under 18 should not be allowed, when you are under that age, your organs haven't developed enough, and in big ammounts, alcohol can really damage you physically and emotionally.

What do you think?
