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. |

no way... gosh that would cause soo many more problems.
theres already enough people dead from drunk drivers. give kids alcohol now will just set them for to be an alcoholic. i personally dont think drinking alcoholic beverages should even be legal, but thats not gonna happen. more rape, other sexual abuses& car accidents happen when theres drinking involved. |
