seriously i can see that it is inappropriate for little children but once people hit about the age of 18 there is really no point in keeping them from drinking.
are people supposed to magically change and be able to control themselves when they turn 21??? no so i mean there is no legitiment point to keep people from drinking.
if it may harm you when your 21 then it shouldnt be any different at any other age.
now some parents may make the arguement that it is still wrong because its the law, but as them to think back to when they were the same age and ask them if they drank.
most of them will say that they did it but that you shouldnt because its just wrong
its true that if you abuse it like anything else it will be a bad thing.
so the basic message that im trying to get across is that we as people should be able to enjoy alchol because there is no distinction between a legal and appropriate age to drink.
if you want the truth it actually has a lot to do with the physical make up of a 21 year old. By that time, the brain has been fully developed where as when you are 18 it is not. Alcohol can severely mess up whatever the brain needs to do in order to mature to its highest point. Didn't mean to try to sound smart or scientific..... sorry....
ReplyDeletei actually didnt know that. thanks for whoever that is...that would make a lot of sense.
ReplyDeletebut how long have they known this? because its only been about 30 yrs since they changed the drinking age to 21...oh well
