In “The Swimmer,” John Cheever portrays the emotional state of an alcoholic as he devolves further into his addiction. The story follows a man called Ned Merrill who lives in a suburban neighborhood with his wife and kids; in the story, he decides to swim across town using all the pools in the area, and he encounters many of his neighbors during the journey.

In 1984, the law of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed by lawmakers in congress. This law of the minimum drinking age ultimately told the United States that…
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.
