The Negative Consequences Of Drinking Age

When thinking about the drinking age it can be a very scary topic. In some countries the drinking age can be as low as 16. Countries like Germany, Italy, Switzerland have the drinking age at sixteen.I believe that can cause a lot of problems in society because I believe a sixteen year old is still a child and isn't ready for the consensus that comes with it.That been said a lot of 16 year olds are still under their parents roof. What makes you think they can consume alcohol? They are not mature enough and wise enough to handle the negative consequences of drinking. Anyway the reason I choose this topic for my final paper is because I want to understand what the perfect drinking age according to researchers is. I think this is important because
Prior to the base drinking age law, 16-to 20-year-olds were the most well-known smashed drivers. At the point when the drinking age was raised, the quantity of lethal accidents including a youthful driver dropped essentially, from 61% in 1982 to 31% in 1995.It went down more for that age group than any older age group''( Christensen 2014) when hearing this I believe the drinking age shouldn't be change because her statement is saying to me ages 18-20 aren't mature enough or responsible to consume alcohol and after the law was passed to 21 and there were no problem since so the question is why would we lower it? I think it should be at age 21 because we don’t need innocent people getting killed because of youthful driver while he was drinking and driving! Another thing that caught my attention is when I was reading this interesting article. She explain how immature these so called “adults" can
I was fresh out of high school and at the time I thought I was very mature for my age. But I was wrong and I believe I was still growing at the time. I didn’t know what to do in life and I was struggle to find a major, and by lowering the drinking age. It will just cause trouble, the reason why I say this is because ''Alcohol utilization can meddle with improvement of the youthful grown-up mind's frontal flaps, key for capacities, for example, passionate control, arranging, and association. At the point when liquor utilization meddles with this early grown-up mental health, the potential for interminable issues, for example, more prominent defenselessness to fixation, hazardous danger taking conduct, lessened basic leadership capacity, memory misfortune, gloom, viciousness, and suicide is more noteworthy''.( Porncorn 2016) In other words when you have problems like development of the young adult brain's this can lead to things like suicide and having difficulty memory things.This can lead to a huge problem because it wouldn’t help the students focus on school which might ruin their future. Because alcohol is taking away their basic common sense and their learning abilities to pass the class. So what I'm trying to say here is the drinking age should stay at 21 because the fact is that people's brains are not completely mature until the age of 21 and 25, and in the event that they brought it the age down to 18
