Shalene Kirchmeier 4/13/15 English 11 Should the Legal Age of drinking alcohol? We all know that one person that goes out every weekend to get drunk. But the legal drinking age is 21, so why do they go out? Even Though they go out many or at least some people are mature about it. They do not drink until they can’t anymore every single time they go out. The age for drinking should be 17. Although 58% of males, and 47% of females 12 and older drink they dont ALWAYS get wasted. Many know there limit, or at least they know when to stop. Personally I have a few friends that go out on weekends to drink. And even though they go out they have never ended up being so drunk that they don't remember. Drinking is something you have to be responsible about, you can not just go out and get completely obliterated. Sometimes it may be fun, or you might want to because you had a bad week but you have to be smart about it. Since many people under the age of 21 drink already they just need to lower the legal drinking age. Like I said before 58% of males 12 and older have drank alcohol before. Just because the legal drinking age is 21 not a whole lot of people listen. They do not care about the legal drinking age, they only want to have a good time and do what they want. Although many people drink it does not mean that its the right thing to do. But that still does not mean that I agree with what the legal drinking age is now. It’s not fair that people get to vote when they are 18, also its not fair because people get to go to war when they are 18. People should be able to drink if they are able to choose if they want to go to war or not.
