Among the previously listed reasons that call for the consumption of alcohol, the main reason for teenage drinking is being rebellious and breaking the law. 88% of high school seniors claim to have consumed alcohol
persuade them to approach the problem of underage drinking. I included examples of how underage drinking has developed into a large problem so that it is viewed as being credible. In other words, because many people have been affected by underage drinking in the past, it leads one to believe that the problem has reached a point in which a concrete solution is necessary. I mentioned how certain strategies had been put in place to combat underage drinking, but none of them were seen as being as successful
In the United States, the legal age of drinking is 21. Drinking is huge everywhere you go, some people do it for fun and celebration and some other people do it because they are stressed and need to release stress.
