Lately people have been discussing about the legal drinking age in the U.S. Weather it should or shouldn't be lowered to 18. I believe that the legal drinking age of 21 should not be lowered to 18. For example, approximately 5,000 people die every year due to drinking and accidents caused by drinking. These deaths include, motorcycle accidents, suicide, and even homicide. According to the National Institute on Alcohol abuse and Alcoholism. This shows that more young adults would die if the age limit is lowered. So, drinking can propose enormous health issues, the effects of risky drinking affects everyone, no matter what your age is. 18 year olds can’t handle this because their brain are not fully developed.
