Drinking-Changed Mind

Since i have been doing all of this research on lowering the drinking age it has made me reconsider a lot of things. But i have not changed my stance on the issue. I still believe that the drink age should be lowered and youth should be able to be introduced to responsible drinkint at the right age. I also believe that it should be up to the individual state to decide what they believe is that "right" age.

Boys and toys

I would have to say that i agree with the author of boys just want to make war. As a child you could give me any toy rathe rit be a barbie or a stick, by the time i was done with it, it looked like a soldier and it was going to save the country. Its not that boys are violent. I think that it is just what they like to to. Yes, some of it is what they see around them but most of it is natural and it is what they enjoy to do

Lowering the drinking age

This has to be the hot topic for anyone who has heard of it. i cannot think of any 18 yearold who would not like to see the drinking age lowered. I must say that iI would tent to agree with most of them. there is so much drinking that goes on behind closed doors and in garages that is really makes no difference what the drinking age is. It all comes down to self choice, it is so easy to get your hands on a case of beer that on a friday night most high school kids are out drinking, and because they cant do it legally they feel that they must take advantage of the oppertunity, so they get drunk out of their mind. i think that if the drinking age was lowered people would see kids that are much more relaxed and focused. For example look at europe everyone drinks when they are 18 because they are considered adults. I believe that if you can sight a legal document, go to war, and get married you should be able to have a drink.
