*Website-Alcoholism*

Have you ever wondered… Why at eighteen, YOU are allowed to choose the president of the U.S, can be arrested and tried as an adult, serve the country; to live or die, buy lottery tickets and tobacco, but aren’t responsible enough to purchase alcohol? Well, that gets to me, so I decided to do a website based on lowering the legal drinking age. Teens all over the world are exposed to alcohol. The debate upon whether or not the drinking age should be changed back has been going on since it was changed. The drinking age was changed in 1987 because “youths brains are not fully developed until about the age of twenty one.” Also, officials thought that if they changed the law it would decrease traffic incidents. They were clearly wrong as incidents are more prevalent now than they were before the law was changed. It is difficult for officials to enforce a law to a billion teens who are not accepting it. I feel as though it would be easier to contain these young teens if they changed the law. People need to teach and provide didactic methods of learning to keep teens from being ignorant and abusing alcohol. My website is designed to give people my intake on things, provide them with a little background information on the law and why it was changed, how it effects society, how will change make it better, give statistics of the negative affect the change has on the country, and lastly provide an understanding of the pros and cons of changing the law back. www.underageddrinking.weebly.com
