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. |

Well, just because I don't follow it doesn't mean it shouldn't be so. I am one of those, and there are others, that feel that things must come with maturity. Kids back in the early twentieth century used to drive because their parents thought they were mature enough. This age restriction is because there have been too many injuries or deaths from minors drinking, so they generalize people and say that we can't drink under 21.
I'm not saying I'm the most mature person in the world, sober or drunk, but I feel it's up to the individual. Nuff said, nigga. |
