Ideally, the solution to this problem would be to allow individuals who are eighteen, which is declared the age of adulthood, to purchase and consume alcohol. The problem, however, extends beyond underage drinking and to irresponsible drinking. It is true that with age comes responsibility, but it makes no sense to trust a sixteen year old with a car and not trust an eighteen year old with a beer, when a car is far more dangerous.

Drinking a beer after a hard day at work is for the most part refreshing, as well as relaxing. Americans have consumed alcohol as a m

In high school I was always the sober driver, and drove to some pretty weird places. I used to call these places BFE, you can use your imagination on that one, but the first word is Butt and the last word is Egypt.
