In my opinion, I do not think people under 21 years old should be allowed to drink alcoholic beverages, but once you are an adult you are free to make any decision that will make you happy, or help you in your life, But our body and brain are still developing at 18, 19, and 20. That is why 21 is the legal age to drink alcohol, because at that age our body and brain is totally developed.

Government changed, this in 1984, because people younger than 21 years old drink alcohol in an irresponsible way. A lot of them drive drunk and lot more die driving their car because of the alcohol, and they do not know what they are doing. According to the world abc news, hundreds of teenagers die every day caused to consuming alcohol under age and driving, or not just consuming, it is also because they don’t know what they are doing under alcohol possession.

Those guys under age of drinking alcohol are trying to change the drinking age by saying that if we vote for a president, or go fight for our nation when ware 18, why can’t we drink? But those guys doesn’t know that alcohol caused a big death rate when the legal age was 18 years old back then in the United States, and that death rate decrease when the government change the drinking age to 21 years old.You can join the military until you are 18 years old, and people say that if you can join it when you are 18, why can’t you have a beer? Well, people do not know that guys that join the military at 18 they have permission to drink and buy alcohol in the base “PX” according to the U.S Navy.

Guys under 21 years old should wait until they are in a legal age to drink alcohol, because their body has to develop good to have a better life and that way we won’t have a high rate of death like we used to have back then.
