Dont be ignorant

The frontal lobe isn't even finished being developed till the age of 25. By having the age limit be 21 that is more then adequate. Anyone arguing against this is either under the age of 21, or completely oblivious to what lowering the age would REALLY do to our community and kids from the age 16-21. LEARN before you claim we should do something that seems for stupid not only for the present, but the future.

Keep The drinking age at 21 is Common Sense

It's common sense that we keep the drinking age at 21. What good does it make for young adults to be drinking so early? It kills the brains, it leads to so many problems. Lowering the age will only means that more drinking and driving will happen. 18 years old adults aren't mature enough yet. Especially when their brain isn't fully develop. I realize a lot of young adults are already drinking under age but keeping it 21 will make them think before they even touch it. If these young adults are stupid enough to drink and drive already, what makes you think they'll stop when the age is lowered? Lowering the age for drinking will only influence more to drink. Why would we want drunk tards filling into our streets and communities? I understand its their choice and responsibility but it affects other people's lives also. I also believe by lowering the drinking age, people will pick up this bad habit. I guarantee anyone more people will end up dead and more people will end up at the hospital for treatment. Nothing about alcohol is good. I understand when people drink for special occasions but every weekend is not reasonable. Lowering the age to 18 will only help young adults to find reasons to drink. Our nation have better things to worry about than our young adults crashing and turning to retards. You just have to wait til 21 just to drink, you have like 60 to 70 more years to drink all you want!

Stay the same or go higher

Because we have other problems to deal with like car accidents from people we don't need to wore about people speeding, under age driving on swerving on the roads.That's why I think the drinking age should stay the same or go higher.

why the drinking age should be lowered to 18

i think you guys are straight up stupid and seriously they need to lower the drinking age to 18 because if at the age of 18 you are old enough to fight for your country then you should be able to drink beer with out getting a consumption and go to jail if they lowered the drinking age or not kids are going to drink whether it's legal or illegal so they might as well just legalize it for kids at the age of 18! and keep or youth out of jail!
