Should the age limit to consume alcohol be lowered?
Of course it should be lowered. We can’t just sit here and assume that minimum age 21 or preaching abstinence is going to teach our young adults responsible drinking. We have to accept that alcohol is a reality in the lives of college students and even high schoolers. We can either turn a blind eye and hope that they drink responsibly in private, or introduce it into the public eye where it can be more closely monitered and better drinking habits can be passed down. In many states, parents who try to teach their kids, even their young adults 18-20 responsible drinking in the safety of the home are breaking the law. All this does is criminalize normal people and breed disrespect for the law. How are they expected to behave maturely when the home isn’t even allowed to be a classroom, I can assure you they won’t simply become mature overnight once they turn 21, and without any real mature drinking experience prior to 21 you can expect them to even be foolish drinkers at 21.
