Mr. Lerner’s book discussed the matters on drunk driving and how they can affect people’s lives. In the summary I found in Collins library as stated in the citation above, he reports factual evidence and statistics to show both sides of people who argue with drunk driving and those who said the problem was, “Exaggerated and overregulated.” The debate continues with both sides stating why and why not they agree and disagree with the matter of people driving drunk.

If you give them little doses of it at a time and let them do it around parental supervision do you think that they are less likely to have the same outcome as to when they are off somewhere alone with their other minors drinking?

These are all the types of questions that will run through society’s head when discussing this sensitive subject. But the real question is, what would happen if the drinking age got lowered again to a minimum age of only 19 years
