SummaryAlcohol, a cheap easy way for many young American adults to enjoy a society which has cast selective freedoms which they fight and die for right out the window. An issue which has plagued young adults since its surfacing in 1984 under President Regan, should the legal drinking age for all Americans be an issue for which states are left to regulate, or should the federal government force the restrictions on drinking age to twenty one? Certainly there is much information on this topic; after all it has been debated now for over twenty years. Should the legal drinking age be twenty one, so that we can protect our youth and prevent so many deaths which would occur due to drunk driving, or should the legal age be eighteen, since you can be tried as an adult, purchase tobacco produces, obtain and use a firearm with a license, and most importantly of all be allowed to decide who might be the leader of our nation. While both sides have validity in their arguments, it is however prevalent that I see it a preposterous statement that an ‘adult’ of our country should not be allowed to enjoy the spoils of an alcoholic beverage at their choice or disposal.
