Health Reference Center Academic. Web. 2 Nov. 2015. . This article, although short, contains very important information.

The first thing I want to point out is on alcoholpolicymd.com, it says, “Annual alcohol use by high school seniors dropped from 87% in 1983 (before passage of the national MLDA law) to 73.2% in 2000.” This obviously shows that even though there still is illegal drinking, it has dropped since MLDA 21. If we lowered the legal drinking age I think that the numbers would fly off the charts, the only reason that the 27…

Eighteen year olds are considered adults when they’re 18. Many people believe 18 is to young to drink because they are just getting out of school but what this over looks it that 18 year olds are considered adults, so keys should be able to make there own decisions.

March 23 of 1971 the United States passed the 26th Amendment declaring that at eighteen years old you would be given the right to vote. Therefore in the eyes of the legal system you are an adult. If you are old enough to vote, which is right, that holds a lot of responsibility and power, therefore you should be allowed to consume alcohol by this age. I believe that the age of illegibility to enter the armed forces nevertheless to enter combat is an extraordinarily fair age. The entrance age is…

One of the four people in our society who follow their own rule is Blake Shelton.

considered a legal adult, and allowing teens of eighteen and older to drink in a safe controlled environment can decrease unsafe drinking activities. First let's talk about why the legal drinking age in the United States is 21. In 1984 the National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed by Ronald Reagan. He basically made the states raise the legal drinking age to 21 or he would cut the highway funding to their state. At this time many states have varying laws on buying alcohol. Some state it…

The National Minimum Drinking Act, an Unjust Civil Liberty Violation The age of adulthood in the United States is 18, and adults should have the right to make their own decisions about alcohol consumption. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, MLDA, is a policy that was intended to lower alcohol consumption and related problems among teenagers. Studies and research have proven this act to be outrageously unsuccessful, and ineffective, especially among college age students. The National…

Was one of your family members affected by drugs or alcohol at a young age? I know mine have. People all over the world are affected or dying from alcohol the most killing drug out there. People seem to think of this drug as a normal thing now and it's harmless which is completely incorrect. Certain people seem to believe the opposite of this and think it should be raised. When people say the word college at least half of the people in the room think of parties because in your 3rd year of…

When you think about underage drinking, what do you see? Is the scene you see one of intoxication and violence? If so, you are not alone, but this does not have to be true. I believe that Responsible Underage drinking is something that can happen and if we lower the drinking age to 18, there will be more time to teach teens how to handle alcohol responsibly. This nation is entering a time of great change-maybe this law should change with it. In America, at the age of 18 you’re considered an…
