"Prohibition makes you want to cry in your beer, and denies you the beer to cry into." This quote by Don Marquis conveys how a large majority of teenagers, as well as people of legal drinking age, feel about the laws prohibiting alcohol to people under twenty-one. These people want the legal drinking age lowered from twenty-one to eighteen. They feel like, if a person is old enough to vote and fight for their country, then they should be able to have an alcoholic beverage if they choose. Opposers to this ideal think that the law should stay as it is because they feel that people under twenty-one are not mature enough to drink responsibly. I have taken the side of the opposers. .
The legal drinking age should not be anything but twenty-one and older. Seventy percent of all teenagers drink alcohol [First Eagle], which they have no business doing. They don't know how to drink responsibly and they don't know why it is people drink. They drink in order to get buzzed or drunk, instead of drinking for the flavor of the alcohol. A drink is not made with the cup having 70% liquor and the rest a mixer. They also go way overboard on how many drinks they drink in one night. It takes one hour for one drink to pass through your system. Young drinkers tend to have a handful of strong drinks in a very short time span. Then the effects kick in and they think everything is fine because they"re having a good time and all of a sudden, they"re not feeling well. They say and do things they normally would not say or do. A lot of underage drinkers usually end up sick, passed out, and hung over. I know this because of experience and watching other friends after I learned my lesson.
Another thing is that most underage drinkers don't learn their lesson after a night of binge drinking. Binge drinking is extremely dangerous. What they are really doing is ruining their livers and damaging brain cells, quite a few have died because of binge drinking also.
