Lowering the alcohol drinking age to 19

The United States needs to lower the drinking age to age 19. Studies have shown in other countries that children introduced to alchol at a younger age and are taught to drink more responsible have healthier drinking habits than that of youth in the United States. The negative effects of acohol arise not from the fact that the youth is drinking alcohol but the method they consume it. We need to lower the drinking age to create a more healthy drinking mentality in the youth and America.
