Drinking age
Is it fair to kill in war but not be able to drink Alcohol before the age of 21? Why do adults, the government, and even parents think teenagers are not responsible enough to drink at 18? They think teenagers are not mature enough to handle the responsibility and consequences of drinking alcohol. Studies have identified that teenagers are more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol on memory, learning and judgment. So there is a risk that teenagers might become alcoholics at an early age. The drinking age is a highly controversial topic because teenagers go to war at 18, get convicted as adults for a crime, and lowering the drinking age will help stop underground drinking and the prohibition period. The United States drinking age has gone up and down, and recently, in 1984, it has gone up to twenty-one. Many events took place before the drinking age went up. It all began when the United States slowly tried to ban alcohol in every state for every person no matter what your age was. They did succeed. This is called National Prohibition. Prohibition started in 1919 and lasted until 1933. When Prohibition started, the Constitution gained the 18th Amendment. The 18th Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, transport, import, or export of alcoholic beverages. This amendment was repealed in 1933 by the 21th amendment, which legalized beer and other types of alcohol. Once National Prohibition ended, each state created their own set of drinking laws. Some were twenty-one; others were eighteen, and then some in between. This lasted for few years, but then the National Minimum Drinking Act of 1984 came along. This act forced all states to change their drinking age to twenty-one or lose part of the Federal aid highway funds. It also said the states should pass laws that helped fight drunk driving. National Prohibition and safety issues, like underground drinking, are all factors that must be considered National
