Benefits of drinking law at 21?

Question

what are some benefits damn assignment due tomorrow T.T orla speech >>. please help me? thanks if u do :)

Answer 1

No real benefits; just perceived benefits. Its one of those ideas that sound good on the surface but have no significant affect.

Answer 2

From a tea-tottler, old F*art...21 is still too young to decide such a fate. As a child of an alcoholic: alcohol poisons more than just brain cells. As husband who does not allow alcohol in the house: I do not have any worries about the risk of pain that being an alcoholic can do TO people. As a former Airman who had his Air Force career destroyed by an alcoholic supervisor who took offense when I wouldn't drink with him: resentful. As an alcoholic who has never touched a drop: I love that my family doesn't have to worry that I am going to be a different person after I have had too many.

One must put on different shoes when one chooses to drink...18 year-olds are too inexperienced and naive to know such dangers as above (h*ell, most are still living at home, therefore, still sucking on mama's t*it!)....both 18 AND 21 is too young for such an important choice that effects more than the self...it is a choice that effects ALL within a drinkers life.

Answer 3

No real benefits like everyone else said. What I don't understand is why in the States people are considered adults at the age of 18 and are given the right to vote for their president, 18 yr. olds can be fully punished for their actions by a judge and jury, and are required to register for the draft but you cannot have a beer in a bar until you are 21 years old! Are you really an adult at 18 if certain rights that slightly older adults are allowed to indulge in and you although you can vote and die for your country cannot have an alcoholic beverage?

Answer 4

The general idea I guess is to delay the legal age of drinking as long as possible in the hopes that people will become more mature with age and that that will reduce drunk driving and other stupidity. However, I do not think that people should be allowed to enlist in the millitary at 18 (or be drafted for that matter) but cannot have a drink at a bar! Just doesn't seem fair, does it?

Answer 5

I am from Australia and our drinking age is 18
There are a lot of kids drink driving......parties are
held and alcohol makes a lot of young people go
out of control. A lot of unwanted pregnancies are
the result of young people drinking.
At least by 21 a lot of people are mature enough to
make better choices....I am not saying all as some people never get enough sense to keep out of trouble. But
the more normal ones seem to "grow up" a lot when they
are 21 in comparison to when they are just 18.
I wish that the drinking age would be raised here too.
Another thing that bugs you is when you go out to a nightclub or something, there are a lot of very immature, younger people really going silly on the alcohol. 21 year olds are a lot more mature and seem to behave better in clubs. Some 18 year olds are just out of control in a club with a few drinks under their skin. Good luck with your speech.

Answer 6

There is none, people under the age of 21 are still drinking.

Well there is one, the states are racking up the dollars for underage drinking when there caught.

I know this is not the answer your looking for but it is the truth.

People are going to do what people want to do regardless. But if caught; you will pay the fine.

Answer 7

More fines can be thrown around at people under 21 drinking, and that gives the government more money.

Answer 8

to prolong life..........at 18 it's like letting a bird out thats been caged for years.......it will fly into the first thing that's in its path

at 18 I was let out of that cage and was legal to drink and damn near ended my life.

at 21 I was flying a little straighter but really didn't get straight until around 26......

the best benefit is you can live at least 3 more years.....it's best if you can live without it..................

Answer 9

It doesn't damage a brain as it would as a younger brain.


I don't really know....they drink at young ages in Europe...and they've been doin' it way longer than we have, and they're fine...if not better.

Answer 10

just the basics, can't get busted for drinking with your friends(unless DUI) can go to bars (yeah even the more exotic ones too) without disgusted looks of underage drinkage.
