Drinking Age Debate

In the article we read in class. It debates whether the drinking age should be lowered to18 or  be kept at 21. some believe that it should be lowered t o18 if you get a drinking permit. But I think it should stay the same, why fix something that doesn't need to be fixed.

I agree with the drinking age to stay at 21 because there is no problem with it. Also I think that it should stay at 21 because, if you start drinking at a young age you will become a alcoholic. Another reason is that if they lower it, you get a permit. What will happen next a student taking out a beer in class saying teacher i have a  drinking permit. Also since they have kept it at 21, it has saved 800 live a year.

One thing I think that is ridiculous is the DARE program. This is a program that is in 70% of the schools in the country and there is no evidence that it is working. So its just a waste of money and time, and if this is a waste of money and time who says that this drinking permit isn't. So this is ridiculous and there is no evidence that Dare helps students, it actually more to into drinking and people to drink more frequently. Another reason why its dumb to lower the drinking age because if they lower it a lot of teens are driving by 18 and if you mix that with drinking that will be a lot of fatalities.
