Geltman attempts to convince the reader of her credibility by making these statements and by describing how policymakers should follow the advice of 150 university and college presidents who signed the Amethyst Initiative and who advocate for…

While some people believe that 18 to 24 year olds should never be tried as adults, I believe that they should. By the time you hit 18, you have lived and learned enough to know what’s right, and what’s wrong. All your life, you’ve grown up learning do’s and the don’ts of pretty much everything. While they may not have been as extensive as they are today, they are still things that we should have carried on with us into our later years of life. Almost everyone looks forward to the day that they…

Age doesn’t make a difference in Drinking Under the Influence (DUI) accidents or fatalities of drinking behind the wheel. In fact, there are absolutely no correlations between the Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA) being 21 in America versus other places, such as Italy, that have a MLDA of 18 and lower.

see a serious problem of reckless, goal-oriented, drinking to get drunk. Those at whom the law is directed disobey it routinely. Enforcement is frustratingly difficult and usually forces the behavior deeper underground, into places where life and health are put at ever greater risk. The 600,000 assaults reported annually, the date rapes, the property damage, the emergency room calls do not in general occur in places visible to the public. They are the inevitable result of what happens when laws…

Why should the drinking age be lowered ? When people turn 18 most people will go off to college . When they are in college they are no longer being supervised by anyone . Many students in their first year of college begin to binge drink .
