Beer! Whisky! Vodka! Wine!, Drinking Age Options

Should the United States get rid of their drinking age limit like many other countries?

I believe the United States should get rid of the drinking age.
It is actually safer not to have a drinking age. When many people in the U.S. reach the drinking limit, they celebrate by getting dangerously wasted. Countries like France do not have such a big drinking problem like the U.S. because they have no drinking age. Not having a drinking age will allow children to drink. If it's legal to drink, young people will become more mature. They won't have the joy of being a badass drinking underage. In China, almost everyone drinks, and there are a few accidents.

The drinking age in America cause hundred of thousands of people, celebrating being old enough to drink, getting rushed to emergency rooms every year.

what do you mean by "it's safer not to have a drinking age"? Everywhere else, the drinking age, at max is at 18. I feel that because of the legal drinking age in the States is 21, stereotypically, those who do drink underage get wasted whenever they drink. Because the drinking age is placed so high, and they drink "illegally", I personally think that they feel the need to drink as much as they can to get a kick out of it. Outside of the US, many learn to drink with moderation because we're used to drinking already. I think that the drinking age should be lowered, but not completely abolished.
