Coors Under Fire
Peter Coors is getting some flack for his stance on the drinking age.
Well, why shouldn't we lower the drinking age to 18? We grant that people as young as 18 are responsible enough to vote. We allow that they are old enough to join the military and die for their country. Why should they be denied the oppurtunity to indulge in some adult beverages?
DENVER - Republican Senate candidate and beer magnate Peter Coors is coming under attack in a new TV ad for supporting the lowering of the drinking age from 21 to 18.
The ad, from a group supporting Coors' GOP primary rival Bob Schaffer, features images of Coors Light cans and young people chugging beer.
"Beer executive Pete Coors says we should lower the drinking age so teenagers can drink," says the commercial, which will be released in the next few days by Colorado Conservative Voters. "Makes you wonder what else we should know about Pete Coors. Oh, Pete!"
An earlier ad by the same group criticized Coors for his company's gay-friendly policies.
