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. |

QUOTE ^but that irresponsible attitude is because young adults want alcohol while it's illegal. when they do get their hands on it, they abuse it wayyy out of line. in europe, the driving age is much higher than the drinking age. it makes less sense than to have a lower driving age and a high drinking age. people can fool clerks or find friends to buy them alcohol. it's still attainable even though it's illegal. however, if the driving age was legal, there would be a drastic decrease in drunk driving accidents among teens and young adults because they can't drive! i rather hand someone irresponsible a bottle of beer than the keys to a car. the irresposible attitude is becuase they are too young. and the age has nothing to do with the fact that more rape and car accidents happen. when a girls drunk she could be raped and not even be able to fight back...it happens ALOT. People are alot wiser at 21 than 15.. and they know that even if they havent had a drink before, they still need to be careful. if some person is going crazy willing to break the law to get their hands on some alcohol then they arent even mature enoughto have it. they wouldnt know how much, where, when or what to do. its not a smart idea to give kids the privalege of drinking. aha im really opinionated on this topic, and alot of others.. |
