18's too young, and I just turned 18. And even though you set the drinking age to 18, what
difference does it make when many teens go out and get drunk late at night (or in extreme cases,
early in the morning)? Make a good decision instead of following things without thinking it through. |

While I agree with the basic premise of this debate, I disagree that lowering the drinking age would
be a wise thing to do. Young drivers are already at a higher risk of a driving related fatalities.
If alcohol is added to the equation, the risk is multiplied. Mixing inexperience with
intensification is a dangerous proposition. There are some very good young drivers and there are
some 18 year old that would not abuse a lowered drinking age. The problem is that, when one is
young, one often times feels as if they are immortal. They take risks that someone with more
experience may not take. This is an overgeneralizatio, of course because people of all ages do
irresponsible things. I do agree that if one can fight for their country at 18, they should be
considered mature enough to have a drink. Perhaps, we should allow those serving their country to
drink responsibly and under the supervision of their commanding officers.
To say that they already drink underage does not make it right. It is illegal and, therefore,
breaking the law. If one is immature enough to use this as an argument, one is probably too
immature to drink responsibly. |
