Is the legal drinking age set too high? Perhaps 18 is the better age for legal drinking. Some might argue this but i think alot of people would agree with me.

The legal driking age in New York is 21. Teenagers are the people that abuse this regulation because a tremendous amount of pressure is put on them. There are a lot of parties, college parties, frats, and clubs that young people go to. After a party is done everyone has to go home right...? Usually many participants are drunk and not aware of what is going on. They then jump in a car and zoom on …

…drinking. Most of us abuse this law anyhow. So to save cops headaches and make things easier on us, this law should be changed. The police could focus more on hard crimes like murder and rape for example. Not teenagers leaping into adulthood. To sum it up the legal drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. As long as people do their part by using their heads and thinking before they pout that first drink.
