We had to write a paper in english regarding a law we dissagree with, i chose the drinking age. I personally dont drink, but here it goes.
Legal adults can marry, purchase or perform in pornography, vote, adopt children, own cars, have abortions, enter into legally binding contracts, operate businesses, vote, adopt children, give consent for sexual intercourse, hold public office, purchase weapons, be imprisoned, be executed, be an employer, sue and be sued, and go to war, but still cannot touch their lips to alcohol. America has the highest drinking age in the world, but still manages to pass off cigarettes to 18 year olds. You can be arrested for drinking alcohol, but not for passing on secondhand smoke. The drinking age in this country needs to be lowered out sheer respect of an adults choice to make adult decisions.
