I think that we should both lower the age to drink and not lower the age for drinking for many reasons. Its hard to pick a side on this topic because just about anyone can get alcohol these days. Now I will tell you why I think this.
Firstly, I think that lowering the age to drink would be a good thing mainly because it would stop kids from drinking so much so quickly because they are trying to do it under the radar so they consume it quicker and it makes them more drunk. If the age was 18, I think that alot of people would maybe be happier and not as mad at the government and the store owners when they try and come in and say theyre 21 and they get denied.
In another sense, I think that they shouldnt lower the age because people at a lower age are less mature and dont know how to handle it as well as older people. Alcohol causes lots of deaths, sicknesses, and lots of other things. If we were to lower the age to 18, someone could go out on their 18th birthday, get their license, buy some alcohol, get drunk, and kill himself and or others just like that. Alcohol isnt something to mess around with. I think that it is very serious and whichever choice we make to either lower it or keep it I hope its for the best.
I take both sides on this topic, it can go either ways. I just wouldnt know how to respond if someone truthfully asked me which side Id be on because I cant, I mean if i was to, I would lean more towards the side of not lowering it because we see how many people it kills and how many accidents have happened due to alcohol. But it can also make people more happy and have the relief of not snooping around to do it.
