Currently in the United States the age you must be to consume or purchase alcohol is twenty one years old. Considering that, as of the age of eighteen, you are considered an adult. If you are considered a legal adult by people around the world, then you should be treated as one and be able to take on all the responsibilities no matter the circumstances. The legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered to give more responsibilities to young adults and decrease the rate of underage drinking

Think back to college: throwing parties, getting wasted, getting in trouble for having alcohol. Back then, you probably thought that life would be better if people your age were allowed to drink. Now however, you might think differently. Many people around that age group believe that the drinking age should be lowered. Now though, people who are older and more mature, believe that the legal drinking age should not change. Some people believe that the legal drinking age should be lower than 21. This

When looking back at history, there is one constant used over and over regardless of the situation; this constant is age. History proves a person cannot vote until they are 18 years of age, could not drink until they were 18, which has risen to 21.

Those who do not agree feel like the age to legally be able to purchase, consume or possess alcohol should be eighteen. A United States citizen is allowed to vote, join the armed forces, obtain their license, and get married at the age of eighteen. Why is it that they cannot drink alcohol beverages? If at eighteen, an individual can have so many responsibilities, why is

I am a huge supporter of the 26th Amendment. At the age of 18, a young adult can make some naïve and immature decisions. But that does not make a case for changing the Amendment. At 18 you can voluntarily join the Military, or any other organizations. When you are 18, you can acquire debt, rent just about anything (not including a car), start a business, and get married on your own free will. So at 18 you have these privileges, the only thing you can’t do is drink legally. An 18 year old should

As many people know the age at which one can legally consume alcohol in the United States is 21. At one point alcohol itself became completely illegal but I am writing this paper to argue that it should be lowered to 18. It is 18 or lower in many other countries and I willing be presenting an argument as to why the United States should be next to lower the age. To first understand why the drinking age should be lowered you must first understand some history of how it got to what it was. First I

In 1984 congress changed the legal drinking age to 21, prior to that the legal drinking age was 18. In 1984 was when congress change the drinking age to 21.

Alcohol is a very common and addictive thing to some as others consider drinking a good thing when controlled.In multiple sources parents would let their kids drink if they stayhome.According to the supporters of the 18th amendment during the beginning of the 20th century 1.6 gallons of alcohol are drank by people annually.Despite underage drinking being illegal many teens do not care and they will drink even if they get caught or not.Everything seems to be against drinking uncontrollably
