Drinking Age
It is legal for eighteen year-olds to go to war and die for their country, it is legal for eighteen year-olds to marry, and it is legal for eighteen year-olds to go to a real prison and be put to death, it is legal for eighteen year olds to do mostly anything you can think of. But why isn't it legal for eighteen year-olds to drink? I don't think that is right, and I believe that the drinking age in the United States should be lowered from twenty one years of age, to eighteen. For the most part, the drinking age does not stop young people from drinking. There are so many easy ways for minors to get in contact with alcohol whether its using fake I.D.'s to purchase it, stealing it from parents, or having someone who is of the legal age purchase it for them. If a person does not drink underage, then most likely he will not when he turns twenty-one and is legal. To adults, drinking alcohol is no big deal, but to minors it is. Like the old saying goes "You want what you can't have". And since it is so forbidden for a person under the age of twenty-one to drink alcohol the consumption of alcohol is a thrill to these people. Minors feel as though they are living on the edge and rebelling agains
