Drinking Age

I honestly don't know, I can see many disadvantages, and some advantages. If the drinking age was lowered to 18, younger kids will have access to alcohol. You are usually a senior when you're 18, so more sophomores and juniors, or whoever can have access to it much easier because their friends can buy it. It may cause more teenage deaths, with car accidents, or alcohol poisoning. But it may not appeal to so many people in the age group 18-20 because its legal now. And also in most tings you are considered an adult at 18, so it makes since to also have the drinking age at 18. You can vote, serve in military, buy cigarettes, buy lottery tickets, and even get into some clubs. So if you can do all that, why not be able to drink?
