Topic > Wrong Age, Wrong Choice: Alcohol Abuse - 796

Statistics show that alcohol has a great impact on the world and everyone in it. According to Wikipedia, “It is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bonded to a carbon atom” (Alcohol). According to people all over the world, alcohol is a pleasure to relax, forget about peer pressure and is also used as an excuse to go out and get drunk. And it is also one of the reasons why accidents and crimes occur, which happen almost every day and kill many people. But many people don't really understand the real dangers of alcohol. So they want to lower the minimum drinking age from 21 to 18 because they think an 18 year old adult is mature enough to handle. Even if in reality it would kill society and the country because of those people who never think about action before doing it. Lowering the drinking age law is the worst choice the government can make and most people absolutely oppose it. Most people agree and strongly recommend that for drinking, people should have a higher age of initiation and maturity due to the harms posed by drinking, which are lost in alcohol. For example, a citizen must be at least 21 years old to purchase a gun, gamble in a casino, or adopt a child. Where they have grown up and know what they do using their brains. Instead of doing it first and then thinking about it later, which always leads to negative outcomes for oneself and others. It also keeps kids who are bullied or have bad lives, whatever they have no experience dealing with, from moving away from alcohol. Considering that they will soon find and drink alcohol becomes a solution to their problems due to the lack of understanding of alcohol. Who think it's just an equity... half of paper... sociability is bad and worse than before because of young adults who don't have much experience in the actions they do. The law should avoid alcohol intake at the age of 18-20 years due to the unsafe activities that can be done by people who drink and get drunk due to their lack of knowledge about alcohol and cannot control themselves. Alcohol is a dangerous drink to you and others when you abuse it, which 18 year old young adults are likely to do if the law is changed in 18 year olds. Ultimately, the drinking age should remain at 21 so that young adults can gain more experience and matures who can handle alcohol and themselves when they are 21, and by doing so, it will save many lives and also make the safer country for people and better behavior in every person.
