Minimum Legal Drinking Age to
18
Kenny Nguyen Per. 0
Some Statistics
According to CDC there were approximately 189,000 emergency rooms visits by
persons under the age 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol
An estimated two of every 1,000 occasions of illegal drinking by youth under 21
results in an arrest
Underage Drinking
Underage drinking is the most common drug of the youth
The youth can drink more because kids have an unusual tolerance to the negative
effects of alcohol such as lack of coordination, drowsiness, and hangover effects
Teenagers binge drink in private and less controlled environments
If the MLDA changed from 21 to 18, it would diminish the thrill of breaking the law
to get a drink
The high non-compliance with the minimum legal drinking
age promotes general disrespect with areas of US law
Other Reasons
At the age of 18 you receive rights and responsibilities of adulthood such as the right
to vote, smoke cigarettes, get married, serve on juries, be prosecuted as adults, and
even join the military
Someone who is risking their life should be able to have a say on what they can
drink or can’t drink
Other Countries
Most European countries allow kids to drink alcohol under adult supervision but
not purchase it
This teaches kids about alcohol firsthand and what they should and should not
drink
Because of this, binge drinking in other countries is not as common as it is in
America
If the United States lowered the age requirement it would show young adults the
ability to drink in a controlled and safe environment
Conclusion
Drinking is going to happen no matter what the age requirement is, by lowering the
MLDA it would make kids drink in a more safe and controlled environment.
