Drinking Age

In the blog Discussing Politics the author makes a good argument about the drinking age being 21. I completely agree with the author ‘s argument that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. Once you turn 18 you are able to join the military, have a gun put in your hand and told to go kill another man but god forbid if you have a beer. I understand that one of the reasons for the drinking age being 21 is to reduce drinking fatalities, but that can be avoided if we make the driving test harder. Most people nowadays couldn’t even pass a driving exam right now so why not make it harder and that could get rid of some of the problems with drinking fatalities if the drinking age were lowered to 21. The author also made a good argument about the drinking habits of minors and they would be safer if they were in a public place near an emergency official. I just believe that if you are treated as an adult at the age of 18 and expected to act like one, then you should be able to have a drink.
