Make the legal drinking age 18

Created by R.J. on February 12, 2013

When you turn 18, you are legally an adult. You are allowed to join the army and risk your life, but you are still not allowed to drink. Since you are legally responsible for yourself when you turn 18, you should have the right to drink as well. Many other countries have lowered drinking ages and people turn out fine. When alcohol is more available and you can experience how you feel the effects you are less likely to abuse the substance.
