And there are hundreds of more articles on the internet like it. I honestly find the drinking age in the US pointless, and it is the highest drinking age in the world. It should be lowered to eighteen once again, but more steps need to be taken to insure younger drinkers are safer. Allowing the eighteen year old to buy only if they are out of highschool? Limit the amount they can drink untill 21?
If the drinking age was 16, but only around adults, parents could teach them how to drink properly, and to know how much is too much, but because it's considered the forbidden fruit, most teenagers go off to college not knowing how much is too much, and end up dying. For every one person under 18 that this "21" age has saved, someone over 21 has died. And increasing the drinking age isn't going to save anyone, it's just going to make a bunch of 25 year olds not know what is going on. We need a graduated drinking law. Like driving.
