Carry24/7, there is a great point in comparing the two. We could also add Germany, which is another country where teens are allowed to drink for years before they are allowed to drive. Want to guess how their DUI rates compare?

While we are at it, Scandinavian countries have fewer sexual taboos; yet they also have lower rates of teen pregnancy and venereal disease.

One of our major problems in the US is the creation of taboos. They only challenge kids to find ways to get around them. Our Puritan vestiges really cause a lot of problems.
