Lower+the+Drinking+Age,+Help+Save+Lives

It's time to **//__LOWER THE DRINKING AGE__//**

Underage binge drinking is a serious problem in todays society. many minors get seriously hurt or die due to alcohol everyday. Thats why we propose that the drinking age be lowered to 18 to help stop the "cool" feeling that motivates many kids to drink, and that a permit system be put in place in order to educate todays youth about the dangers of binge drinking. This will significantly reduce underage binge drinking and help save lives.

"Proponents of keeping the MLDA at 21 believe that teens are more likely to harm or even kill themselves and others by drinking prior to 21. Opponents contest that a MLDA of 21 has caused greater underage binge drinking and subsequent health and life endangering behavior by teens." []

"Turning 18 entails receiving the rights and responsibilities of adulthood to vote, serve on juries, get married, sign contracts, join the military--which includes taking on the responsibilities of life and death--and be prosecuted as adults. Adults from the age of 18 should therefore also be trusted to make decisions about alcohol consumption." []
