Lower the drinking age from 21 to 18.

Created by M.H. on October 25, 2014

The United States is the only country in the world with a drinking age of 21. The Unites States is also the country with the most binge drinking among minors. If the drinking age were lowered to 18, teenagers wouldn't be so eager to drink illegally because they would be able to do so in a few years. Furthermore, if we are considered adults at the age of 18, we should be entitled to all the privileges that adults receive. If we can vote for the leaders of our country and go to war and risk our lives for our country then we should be able to have an alcoholic beverage.
