Why legal drinking age should be banned

From the Article “Return the Drinking Age to 18, and Enforce It” by Gabrielle Glaser, the author argues that the drinking age should be returned to eighteen, and enforced heavily. In the article, she argues that the current system which only allows people who are twenty-one and older to purchase and drink alcohol is forcing high school and college kids to partake in risky binge drinking behavior. Also, she compares today’s drinking attitude of underage kids to the attitude of people in the…

Some say that the legal voting age should stay 18, but other's say it should be lowered to 16. In my opinion, it should be 16, because whoever wins the presidential election will still be president as these 16 year old's grow into their adult life. Turning 18 comes with many new responsibilities and rules, and I feel that teens should have a say in who will be president when they are introduced to those new responsibilities. The voting rate for the younger generation may be smaller than the…

Ho Yan Cheung Topic: The drinking age should be raised to 21 Opening/Attention: Good afternoon everyone! Canada is facing a serious problem of people drink and drive. People like drinking alcohol to “relax” but at the same time, it can take away one’s life. Lots of activities have ages initiation. At 16, a person can start driving; at 18, a person can marry without parental consent and so on. I think the drinking age should be raised to 21 is because teenagers get drunk twice as fast as…

Would changing the drinking age be beneficial to the US.This has been a huge topic debated in the US for a while. There are very good reasons for changing it and to keep it the same. Some say that when you are 18 you are able to make your own decisions and being able to drink should be one of them. On the other hand, you should be more mature to be able to drink responsibly. A big topic that comes up with this is drunk driving deaths. Would this decrease the amount of deaths? If this were to…

A big debate now days is weather to raise or lower the driving age. There are pros and cons to both but only one can be the answer. Raising the driving age would make for safer roads rather than lowering it. Raising the driving age would put more responsible drivers on the road. Teens tend to text more, and would be more likely to text and drive. "Car accidents are one of the main causes of deaths for teenagers, and rising the age limit could reduce mortality." (netivist). By experience you…

A dark bottle, a large bed and questionable morals, like many alcohol commercials the Chivas Regal whiskey ad advertises the fun that men and women can have by drinking. Most of the ads today impact society in a huge way. When people see this ad and similar ads they start to believe that what they see is morally correct and that they should emulate what they see. This is mainly due to how most alcohol ads are presented to the public. The Chivas Regal ad is advertising a whiskey brand, but in…

is no right or wrong answer on the age of responsibility. My opinion on the age of responsibility is that it should be 21. Not everyone's brain develops at the same time because we think differently we act differently and we are not all the same. We were given some rights but not all and people were have trouble on why we weren't given more rights. According to Alan Greenblatt’s article “What is the Age of Responsibility” there was some confusion about the age of responsibility because we get…

Driving Teenagers should not be able to drive at the age of sixteen. It can put their lives and other’s lives at risk. There are a lot of reasons why teens should not be able to drive at such a young age; there are many ways they could get hurt. They could get in a car crash and suffer injuries such as brain damage, or paralysis. Since their brain is not developed, this damage could be permanent. The legal driving age for teenagers should be raised. Raising the legal driving age can save many…

project on the legal drinking age in the United States and whether it should be lowered or stay the same. I and several of my friends who are currently under the age of 21 want it to be dropped to 18. They feel if they are considered old enough to be able to leave home to go to college, join the military, move into their own house, and pay their own bills by the government’s standards then they should have the right to decide and control what they put into their bodies. The legal drinking age…

best interest of the United States to lower the minimum legal drinking age has been debated for decades. Every state has the ability of establishing their individual drinking ages, and all separately have them set at 21. Within the time frame of the late 1960’s and the 1970’s, every state lowered its drinking age to 18. In July of 1982, Ronald Reagan passed the Minimum Drinking Age Act, forcing all states to maintain a minimum drinking age of 21. Each state was still allowed to set their own…
