Drinking Age Reconsidered

by: Mack Myers

44% of teenagers participate in binge drinking.

The fun games that come with binge drinking. Displays drinking solely to get drunk rather than to enjoy the drink.

Younger people feel the need to drink more in smaller time periods rather than just enjoy the drink.

Most of them do it because they want to feel ‘cool’.

At the age of 18, you can…

Buy cigarettes…

Vote…

Serve on a jury…

Get married…

And enroll in the military.

But you can’t…

Drink a beer.

At any age, you are able to drink in the presence of your parents.

Funny video

• Funny guy summing it all up.

Underage drinking accounts for 17.5% of consumer spending on alcoholic drinks.

Lowering the age would help the economy!
