Alcohol has been used by virtually every culture and continent on earth.

The Alcohol Drinking Age Should be Increased The idea of raising the alcoholic drinking age protects young people. Indeed they are still incapable of accepting responsibilities included in the drinking of alcohol. In fact, according to DO SOMETHING.org, 5,000 people under the age of twenty-one die each year from alcohol-related car crashes, homicides, suicides, alcohol poisoning, and other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning.

The topic issue of the article is the use of hand-pumps for the distribution of water in sub-Saharan Africa; while this is just one of many methods of supplying water it is one of the most important to those in developing and rural areas. It’s pointed out that the hand-pump is one of the cleanest, easiest, cheapest, and most reliable (year round operation) sources of water for sub-Saharan Africa.

illegal retail establishments known as speakeasies” (Thornton, Mark, Prohibition Caused the Greatness of Gatsby). The number of criminals increases more than ever during prohibition. Every illegal action is all in secret and is protected by the corrupted politicians, therefore the criminals can do whatever they wanted without being arrested. Even the women, the main supporter of prohibition, drank alcohol. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan, and Gatsby’s female guests find drinking or smoking…

I personally think that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. The 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act, [23 U.S.C. § 158], requires that States prohibit persons under 21 years of age from purchasing or publicly possessing alcoholic beverages (APIS - The 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act).
