gh school are 18 years old and if they could drink booze, I could see that not being such a good thing. I think that buying alcohol for minors would be a much bigger problem, along with even more underage drunk driving as the result of 18 year olds contributing to 17 and even 16 year old classmates. Overall, there are many reasons why the current legal drinking age is more appropriate. Drinking and driving among teenagers is the main reason to keep the legal age at 21. From the studies I provided, you can easily see that in the early 80’s when the drinking age was 18, there was far more deaths and accidents among young people. Another major factor to leave the drinking age at 21 is that at age 18, many seniors in high school are old enough to buy alcohol. This would only further spill over into the hands of younger classmates. Having the drinking age at 21 is a good start at ultimately saving many lives in this country....
