has been argued that the legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18 so that young adults are allowed to drink in certain environments.

On July 17‚ 1984‚ a law was established in the United States that impacted a large number of America’s youth. The indicated law was the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.

Should they raise the legal driving age to 18? I don’t think the legal driving age should be raised to 18. The reason I feel this way is‚ there are many flaws in the system and teens should not be stereotyped.
