Drinking Age.

We might as well do it anyways. Yes there is a age limit on drinking but realistically no one actually follows it. There is always illegal drinking happening somewhere or parents allow there underage kids to drink as long as they're are home. Correy D. Reid said " Kids at the tender ages of 11 and 12 have started while they are still in elementary school". Underage drinkers sometime start because of peer pressure or "lets be rebels" are start illegal drinking "deemed wrong"( Correy. D. Reid). Not saying that it should be lowered to a point were 10 year old come to school with a hangover, but at a more reasonable age, Because we know that they have probably already started. MSNBC stated that people at the age of 18 who are allowed to vote and fight for their country. Shouldn't they be allowed to drink at 18. Maybe with lowering the drinking age there should be more rules until you have reached the believed appropriate age of 19. Like going for your learners at first there is parent supervision until a year passes, Then there is more freedom. Some believe that if we lower our age more kids are going to get impregnated, but not all teen pregnancy can be blamed on the use of alcohol. And because Teens have already started the underage drinking, the chances of increased pregnancy is low.How ever the drinking age should be lowered but with limitations.
