Editorial: Legal Drinking Age

Everybody knows that in College there is lots of drinking. There is also lots of drinking in high school. to keep young people safe I think it would be very good to lower the legal drinking age to 18. One reason this would be good to do is so when students get offered alcohol while they are in college no matter what year they are in of their college career they do not need to worry about getting a consumption or into other legal trouble. With the Amount of pressure put on students to drink at college parties i do not think its fair to make it illegal to drink. Another reason it would be a good idea to lower the legal drinking age is so senior high school students will be able to expirement with alcohol and know how much they can tolerate before serious damage is done to their bodies. with students knowing how much they can drink before going to college I would assume that there would be a lot less alcohol related deaths. people would not make the fatal mistake of drinking themselves to death because they would previously know how much is ok for them to drink.
