Everyone knows that teens party, and drink, and try various other things that are not good for them but they do them. But it has been getting increasingly worse over the years. More and more teens are getting totally wasted on weekends and on week nights too! It is becoming an epidemic and it is not going to go away by lowering the drinking age!! I understand the idea of lowering the drinking age to give kids a chance to drink before going to college so that then they do not abuse it and then fewer college kids end up with alcohol poisoning but i don't believe that it is going to help at all. I think that the only thing it is going to do is allow more kids to party and get wasted and drink heavily. And it isn't as if teens do not have access to alcohol now or can get it. Parents, older siblings, even the teens themselves can go and buy liquor and then drink it and party so what is the point in lowering the drinking age? All it is going to do is get more and more teens to go out and get totally wasted! And it will most likely increase the number of cases of alcohol poisoning. I totally get the idea of exposing kids to the drinking thing to try and prevent alcohol poisoning but I do not believe that it is going to help anything. What do you think? Should the drinking age be lowered? Why or why not?
