no GOOD can come from it

I have been taught to drink responsibly from a young age and occasionally enjoy alcohol with friends and family. I agree that alcohol can cause terrible things and know people who have gotten in trouble because of it; however, banning alcohol until 21 and making more severe consequences is not the answer to problematic drinking. European countries who introduce alcohol at an earlier age do not have nearly as many problems as the United States does. Also, people who are taught by their parents during teen years to drink responsibly make much better and informed decisions then the people who do it to spite parents or in an uninformed way once they are twenty one. I heard of a person who drank 21 shots on their 21 birthday and died. The drinking age needs to be lowered and people need to be taught to enjoy responsibly. Alcohol is not the demon it is made out to be, it can be a healthy and fun part of life.

Also, I believe that the government should have as little say as possible in people’s personal lives, therefore it should be up the the parent whether or not a child can drink until they are of age: 18. If a person is mature enought to carry around a gun, then they can figure out how to drink responcibly once they are 18.

Use correct grammar and maybe people can respect what you say. The minimum legal drinking age of 21 is obviously not successful if 4,600 youth die each year to alcohol. If we taught responsible consumption of alcohol then our society would be much safer. How can you tell an 18 year old they can go to war but that they aren’t mature enough to consume alcohol? Remember prohibition? It still doesn’t work.

There are many European countries that have no drinking age at all.  They also have little to no problems with alcohol and teenagers.  I’m pretty sure this is because alcohol is not put up on a pedestal and seen as rebellious or cool, it’s just another drink on the shop shelf and does not hold any feeling of accomplishment or ‘coming of age-ness’ when you drink it. Sadly the cosequences of this means that these teenagers turn to other things like illegal drugs for their rebellious acts, so whilst alcohol is not a problem, the drug problems are heightened. People must decide which is worse.
