It is well known a lot of eighteen year olds drink alcohol illegally. The fact that is against the law deters very few of them from drinking. I do not think it is fair or makes sense that an eighteen year old adult can not drink. The legal drinking age should be lowered to 18. These people that are going into college at eighteen, are legally considered an adult but still can not legally consume or buy alcohol even though they easily will find other ways to get alcohol and drink it.
With Ontario getting rid of OAC some people are going into college or university not even being able to drink because they are still 18. Alcohol is easily accessible at these places and the minimum drinking age of 19 is doing very little if not nothing to stop eighteen year olds from obtaining alcohol. These people if they want to drink will obviously be drinking anyways why make them criminals for breaking this unreasonable law. Drinking is
When you turn 18 in Canada you are now an adult. You obtain many new responsibilities. You can vote, your signature is legally binding, you can get credit cards, and many other things but you still have to hold on another year before you can sit at a bar and have a beer. This makes no sense. You can pick who you want to run the country but you can not have a beer. You can sign your life away on a piece of paper but you could not have a coffee with liquor. You can get married at eighteen but not be able to have a glass of champagne at your wedding. If you are legally and adult at eighteen and can do all these things you can handle the responsibility of drinking alcohol.
a part of college and university whether the law makers like to admit it or not and by making it illegal for these students to drink is ignorant and pointless as it will accomplish nothing in preventing them from drinking.
