    Lower the Drinking Age? WRONG. Raise it!

     

    There is argument over whether drunk driving and binge-drinking deaths would be reduced by re-lowering the drinking age to 18.  Proponents say this will allow youngsters to become more familiar and respsonsible around alcohol at an age with greater parental supervision, verus kids going away to college and losing thier minds and getting going on blinding benders.    Conversely, groups like MADD believe this only shifts the age of alcohol experiementation to even younger and more immature people, and alcohol-related incidents will increase.  The solution: RAISE THE DRINKING AGE!  The drinking age should be 25, old enough for most people to get out of colllege and have other responsibilites besides the frat party on Friday.  Besides, its depressing going to a bar with a bunch of fresh-faced youngsters who still have hopes and dreams and their whole lives in front of them.  No one wants to get loaded around that.  Soution 2B: Decriminalize marijuana and esctacy.  Humans do not get violent and aggressive on these drugs.  its been shown that kids will find a way to get high, theyll huff fermented feces for gods sake.  Throw them a bone! Give em something!  Prohibition doesnt work. Raise the drinking age and LEGALIZE IT!
