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. |

that's because news is selective. they are going to pick fatale teenage car crashes because it sends a message. people view teenage drunk driving as a huge problem which is why they would have news stories about it. in nyc (i don't mean to sound racist), a lot of the crime news stories involve african americans. does that mean that african americans are criminals? or there are more african american criminals than other races? and no. if you checked the link i gave you, in 2004: 1820 out of 8100 teenage fatale car crashes involved alcohol while 12269 out of 49397 adult fatale car crashes were alcohol related. even by percentages, adults overrun teenagers. |
