Lower the age to possess, purchase, and consume alcohol from 21 to 18

Created by J.G. on July 04, 2014

The United States of America has one of the highest drinking ages in the world. In an effort to curb binge drinking in late teens and young adults, drinking should be introduced earlier. This will not only erase the taboo behind drinking, it will also aid teens in understanding their limits. Many European countries have a low, or nonexistent drinking age. Non coincidentally rates of binge drinking in Europe are much lower than in the US.
