History of wine

"Alcohol is the drug of choice among America's adolescents, used by more young people than tobacco or illicit drugs... there are 10.1 million underage drinkers in the United States... 39% of current 8th graders, 58% of 10th graders, 72% of 12th graders, and 85% of college students have tried alcohol The legal drinking age in the United States is set at twenty-one years of age.

A clear example of this is the decrease in young drink drivers over the years is due to laws such as zero tolerance laws, general alcohol safety laws and safety belt laws being brought into place. This decrease can also be seen in Queensland after provisional drivers…

There has been an ongoing debate in regards to lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 year old in The United States.

Lowering the drinking age makes a lot of sense if you think about it. If we did lower the drinking age it would have multiple benefits. Lowering the drinking age would not have hardly any bad effects on our country if we ended up doing it.
