Change the national drinking age from 21 to 18 years old.

Created by J.S. on September 28, 2014

18-year-old Americans are legally allowed to risk their future financially and in their education choices, their health smoking cigarettes, and their lives fighting for our country. However, they're not allowed to drink alcohol. Many European countries allow younger people to drink, and as a result have fewer instances of binge and otherwise dangerous forms of drinking. Lowering the drinking age to the same age as legal adulthood just makes sense!
