Should It Matter If The Drinking Age Is Lowered From 21 To 18?
Around that age high school students are working hard to transition into the high-pressure freshman year at college. They have enough stress as it is. If legal drinking age were lowered it definitely will be abused on the account relaxing or taking a break from a tough year at college. Why do we want to introduce a practice where a good deal of judgment is necessary..
I think so because at 18 you should be able to control yourself .these kids do what they want anyway now a days even with out the parents knowing about it any way at 18 you know rigth from wrong.i know i did at 18
Many times I have thought that it was unfair to allow a child to enter the military at 18, be able to vote at 18 and become an adult at 18 but not be allowed to drink until 21. But I do no think dropping the drinking age to 18 is a good idea
Yes I think they should. If 18 year olds are able to die for their country, than they should be able to drink also.
Where I grew up the drinking age was 21. We drove across the state line into Kansas where the drinking age was 18 for 3.2 beer. I would have to say that this slowed down my progress in life. I would have to say that stronger alcohol might have done more damage than was done.
My father once told me that (with my children) I should establish perimeters that are smaller than what in reality I would be satisfied if they stayed in.
So in this regard, I would have to say no hard liquor until age of 21.

Why is the legal age to drink 21 in the majority of USA?When the legal age to join the military is 18, the legal age to consent to sex is 16, the legal age to buy pornography and lottery is 18, and the legal age to be held responsible for a signed contract (credit card/house purchase) is 18.

You can vote, buy cigerettes, become a legal adult, sign a bonding contract, and serve your country at the age of 18. You cannot legally consume or buy alcohol until the age of 21.
