Good luck with that. Prohibition was a failure and would only fail again.

LOL i wonder it that too, and fact that Americans circumcise their boys at daily basis, i'm from Poland i was circumcised partially only the part of foreskin, that was abnormal due phimosis, and now i can use my foreskin that left from it in way that null warranty, if you knew what i mean
But in America apparently you could circumcise you baby for some cosmetic reasons disguised that it had "some medical benefit"
In my country for cutting off a dog's tail or a piece of ear, you can have a criminal case for abusing animals, and if the body's integrity, young boy and his "tail" is more important, this is a rhetorical question, you do not have to answer.
Which does not mean, of course, that this procedure is forbidden but that parents must meet one of the following criteria:
A) They are Jews
B) They are Muslims
C) The treatment is medically justified
I have deep respect for America but for few things i'm glad i was born small insignificant country called Poland in Central Europe
That's something I don't understand either. It's just so unnecessary. The excuses "medical reasons", or the even more lame "aesthetics", are just that - excuses. No one would recommend having ones' eyelids removed in order to "prevent eye infections", and yet I've heard this as a justification for performing this particular, barbaric procedure. I'm also glad I live in a small, insignificant country, but one that is actually far more civilised than those that encourage this disgusting practice.

You profile said that you are from Australia, i o once watched program about circumcision and they stated, that Australia along with United States, Israel and Muslim countries are among the countries where circumcision is the most prevalent
In Poland circumcision is something rare and only occur when is medically necessary, i was circumcised but only partially due phimosis and frequent bladder infections, but dr, only removed small part of foreskin.

- I tried alcohol for the first time when I were 10 - my friend stole a beer from his grandpa. I didn't like it. I hate alcohol till today(29). My parents tried to encourage me to "try" wine/champagne since I weer 14 yo but I didn't want to. I don't like the taste. Besides - my dad was an aggressive alcoholic till I were 8yo and become abstinent afterwards so I grew up hating alcohol.
- My cousin tried alcohol the first time when he was 3 (sipping grandpas beers foam). Was allowed to drink wine/champagne with his parents at age 14. Now he is 18 and he can drink when adults are around but then he is with just his friends he gets badly drunk.
- My classmates smuggled some beer during class trip when we were 13 (I didn't drink because I didn't see it as fun or anything). It ended with the restroom dirty of vomit.
- From what I observer the first thing many people do after getting their 18yo ID is buying a lot of alcohol and getting wasted. Because they can now. Idiots.
Therefore I thinks kids and <21 year olds should be allowed to drink alcohol under sober adults control (it won't be good if the adult is drunk). After 21 they should finally get the right to buy and drink alcohol by themselves.
Perhaps that would take away the "forbidden fruit"/"prove of adulthood" aura from alcohol and teach people to drink responsibly.

I think that it is necessary to keep the consensus on the age of buying alcohol, in the condition it is, in my opinion this is a proven solution.By myself, I almost do not drink alcohol. Besides, I see that you are also from Poland
You should know what is our national temperament, as if the government has increased the age to buy alcohol to 21 years, then the young 18-year-old Poles would rush to buy alcohol, the sheer perversity to make the government angry Anyway, from what I've heard many older shopkeepers that running liquor stores, it does not even check the date of birth in the ID card, mistakenly assuming that the ID card is proof that someone is 18 years old, that they are of legal age, when they are not, because as you probably know Polish ID card is also a travel document, entitling to travel in the Schengen zone instead of Passport and can be issued to any person who is over 13 years old.

What was the programme? This claim of yours is not accurate. The nations that circumcise the most are located in Africa and the Middle East.
I've lived in Australia since 1970, and I have never known anyone to have had something like this done. Yes, sure, it's not the kind of thing most people would openly talk about, but I've never heard of it being performed on anyone, it's just not something that is ever raised.
