Talk about slurred speech...Yuck. Well just recently, I was reading an article about America's Drinking Age on an website, raising the question should the drinking age in America be lowered? The article expresses the possibility of having the drinking age be lowered down to 18, just like in England. The article states that if the age were to be lowered, eighteen-year old would have to have a drinking license, just like as if it were a drivers license; teens would take classes on alcohol, take a test and must pass it in order to obtain the license. Similar to how to be able to drive isn't it? Yeah just a little, I believe.
However, honestly, I say keep it where it's at and don't bother to change it. It's already too much of a hassle to keep up with the death tolls for teenage drunk driving and I already fear from a couple of my friends winding up in one of those accidents. "Sure it's not healthy or good for you, but c'mon live a little", some may say and it can possible be fun. Just not until you are drunk to where you puke every other couple of minutes; I don't have any experience but one day soon, but not now.
All in all, lower the drinking age, then lower it. If not, keep it as it is because either way, we will all be drinking soon (unless others chose not too).
