The idea that the drinking age should be lowered to 18 is a foolish statement. The drinking age was 18 at one time, but was changed in 1984 for the greater good in the 1984 National Minimum Age Drinking Act. (APIS) I believe the national drinking age should stay the same because the brain doesn’t fully develop by age 18, 18 year olds still hang out with enough minors, and if you’re going to drink for an appropriate reason, most states allow underage drinking anyways. Lowing the drinking age…

“STEP ONE: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol–that our lives had become unmanageable, “said in Alcoholics Anonymous, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. In the United States our drinking age is 21, but in reality many people drink way before that. The drinking age should definitely not be lowered, but completely illegal for all because of the emotional distress it causes, the body damage it creates, and also the lives of human beings. First off, humans are very emotional. When a…

Under the boisterous carnival, Montresor and Fortunato stride deeper into the catacombs in search for the Amontillado, an extremely rare and precious wine. Fortunato, a wine connoisseur unaware of the current situation, slurs, “I drink... to the buried that repose around us” (Poe 110). Montresor, with the intent for the immolation of Fortunato, exclaims with the utmost sincerity, “And I to your long life” (Poe 110). In Edgar Allan Poe's short story, “Cask of Amontillado”, Poe writes about a man…

As a legal beverage for the last century, alcohol is an important staple in the American economy. In 1984 alcohol provided federal, state, and local tax funds totaling approximately 12.5 billion dollars, and provided jobs for at least 784,000 people. With the significant impact that the sale of alcohol had/has on the American economy, it became important to find something to compensate for the loss in revenue when the treatment of alcohol abuse reached its peak in the 1970’s. The compensation…

Thesis Statement: “Alcohol is one of the most widely used drug substance in the world, not only is it an adult issue, it is becoming more of an underage and teenage issue as well. Most American high school seniors have had an alcoholic beverage in the past month”.

Instead of the person taking charge of his or her own life they have chosen…
