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.

I personally think that we are focusing on the wrong issue here. No matter what the drinking age is, people who want to drink will. Lowering/Raising/Abolishing it won't solve that problem. The common aspect in all drinking problems is that kids these days believe it's some heavenly ambrosia that they're just waiting to get their hands on. We should work toward getting them to realize the reality behind alcohol - the fact that it is basically poison for your body in excess and does little to no good the way teens regard it.
