Legal Alcohol

Alcohol can do a lot of different things to people I will say the its all depends on how much you drink some people like to get wasted, some like to get tipsy. Alcohol has a lot of good and bad things some people need a drink everyday People use alcohol for numerous reasons; peer pressure, celebration, anxiety, sadness, boredom, rebellion and insomnia are just a few.

It is worth trying it , and if everything goes the opposite then change the law once more (which is done lots of times, for dumb reasons) and raise the drinking age back to twenty-one. Changes are always good (most of the times), and I know this one in particular is an excellent one. When in college most students under the age of 21 can get hold
