    The legal drinking age for the U.S. should be lowered if the situation is being supervised in certain environments. Many drink underage to "rebel" against society norms so lowering the age would not call for such rebellion. Binge drinking would not take place if environment is being supervised.

    The legal drinking age is currently twenty-one. If we were to lower this age limit, the author states " young adults allowed to drink in controlled environments such as restaurants, taverns, pubs and official school and university functions. In these situations responsible drinking could be taught through role modeling and educational programs".

    Should the legal drinking age in the US be lowered to 18? Articulates that young adults should be allowed to drink in a controlled environment.

    I agree and don't think it is any different than teaching young adults how to have safe sex if they choose to have sex. If someone is going to choose to drink at 18, 19, or 20 or 40 for that matter they should be held responsibile for their actions at any age. Why do the laws say purport that a person is an adult at age 18, can drive at age 16, but can't drink until 21? I think it's hypocritical to say someone is an adult at age 18 BUT, you can't drink until your 21.

    This article explains the debate over lowering the drinking age for those men and women who are serving in the armed forces. Several states are seriously considering this, and along with that some would allow all 19/20 year olds to purchase low alcoholic beer. I think that if you are old enough to die for your country and to serve than you should be able to have a drink.

    (CBS) Last fall, a group of over 100 college presidents - including the heads of Dartmouth, Virginia Tech and Duke - signed a declaration stating that the 21-year-old drinking age is not working, and fireworks went off. But the college presidents got what they wanted: a national debate about the drinking age.
  • Albert Morales on 30 Jan 12
     
    It has been brought up by college presidents to lower the drinking age. They believe that just because the law is a failure they should automatically change it for teens who want to drink. You can't stop teens from drinking, and even if you lower the age they will still get in wrecks.

    A group named Choose Responsibly headed by John McCardell Jr. the former head of Middlebury College, is arguing that the legal age for alcohol should be lowered to 18. While the group backs its claims on unsupported data but, the issue still remains that if you are considered an adult at 18 you should be considered adult enough to drink.

    This site speaks about the reasons for lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18. It points out that 18-year-olds are able to fight and die for their country, but considered too young to have a beer. The website clearly believes that the law should be changed.

    This article covers both pros and cons to lowering the legal age to drink to 18. The write is torn between whether or not it is right because at 18 you are a legal adult. However, studies show that one is not ready for alcohol until at least 21 and that by than one should have a stronger common sense level.

    We learn on this website that raising the drinking age to 21, "has little or no life-saving effect." It states the different statistics from a legal push to a state adopted age increase.

    April 22, 2011: 4:24 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Hey, rich folks! The American people are putting you on notice. They want you to pay higher taxes. Two new polls suggest there is broad support for raising taxes on households making more than $250,000 a year, and all in the name of deficit reduction.

    New York's stop and frisk policy has led to racial profiling and targeting of law abiding minority citizens.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 11 Sep 13
     
    New York City made stop and search laws in belief that it would lower the rate of violent crimes. Stop and frisk laws allow police to pat down any suspicious person. The amount of people being stopped has reached a high number. Of those many people, it seems that law enforcement is singling out certain races. These races being mainly Latino or African American.

    This article argues the fact that the "stop-and-frisk" program implemented in the beginning of the 1990's doesn't help in reducing crime rate; however, there are substantial evidence that say it has been used by NYPD officials as a way of discrimination towards minorities.
