Why is it that 18 year old citizens, can legally obtain a drivers license, register to vote, be forced into jury duty or a draft, can be tried as an adult and even be put to death, but cannot buy and consume alcoholic beverages legally? This is why the legal drinking age should be changed from 21 to 18 years old.
For the most part, the drinking age does not keep young people from drinking. Studies have shown that lowering the drinking age slightly increases the frequency that people drink, but not the number of people who drink; people who do not drink before the age is lowered do not drink afterward. ...
In 1984, our Congress passed the National Minimum Purchase Age act, which meant that states had to have minimum drinking ages of 21 by 1986.
