Drinking Age Should Be 18
Drinking Age Should Be 18
The Issue
We believe the legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered from 21 to 18. At 18, individuals are legally considered adults and can vote, serve in the military, and make important life decisions. We believe they should also have the freedom to make responsible decisions about alcohol.
Instead of restricting alcohol until age 21, the United States should focus on educating young adults about responsible drinking and its risks. Lowering the drinking age would recognize the rights and responsibilities that come with adulthood.
If you believe 18-year-olds deserve more freedom and responsibility, please sign this petition and support lowering the drinking age to 18!
