whether or not the drinking age should be 18 or 21. As you turn 18 you are considered a legal adult who gets to choose what they want to do except for deciding whether to drink or not. Lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 would decrease the number of minors people would get because 18 is an age closer to the age we are than 21 is causing children to wait to drink.
