At 18 people are considered to be legal adults. At 18 individuals are able to get married, buy a house, vote, sign contracts, and make big decisions. It’s insane to think these individuals can make all these decision at 18 but can’t be legal to consume alcohol. Therefore, why are “adults” having to wait till 21. Setting the alcohol age to be at 18 makes individuals have more responsibility.
Most individuals drink before the age of 21. Mostly in high school. High school have parties were most students drink who are not 21. Since indivisibles at 18 are able to be on their own and live their life, most parents let their children drink before 21, so why it necessary for 21 as the age. It would be preferred to consume alcohol in regulated environment rather than in secretive and unsupervised areas.
In many other countries around the world, the age for drinking is 18 r lower. For example, the United Kingdom is at the age of 18, Germany is at the age of 16, and Mexico is the age of 18. Therefore, many students and individual drink before the age of twenty-one so there is no excitement to being legal at 21. 77% of students under the age of 21 drink. Finally, this is why the age should be 18 rather than 21. It’s a better millstone at 18 when everything become legal.
