I think that we need to make an amendment that moves the drinking age to the age of 18. I think there is a big need for this amendment. I think that this would help with a lot of things within our country. Our country is in debt big time and we need anything we can get to help generate more money. I think this amendment would generate more money for our country.
The amendment would read as follows: 28th Amendment - Drinking Age to 18
Any persons ages 18 and over are legally allowed to purchase, make, and consume intoxicating liquid within the United States of America.
This amendment I think would overall benefit the country and everyone in the country as a whole. It would first of all save a lot of people from getting minors or getting tickets for drinking under age. Lets all be honest too, a lot of people younger than 21 already drink. It would help save many of these people from having to pay a fine or getting in trouble. Also, it would help to generate more money for each state and for our country. More people would have the opportunity to purchase alcohol which would in turn generate more money.
The last reason I think that this amendment needs to be passed is because 18 year old people now are treated as adults, so they should be able to purchase and consume alcohol like adults. 18 years old people have to sign up for the draft in the military, most have to start paying taxes, they can legally vote and have an influence on our country, and they have the right to purchase tobacco products.
With all these reasons I think that moving the drinking age to 18 would be very beneficial to our country, and it would benefit our country in the long run.
I think this is a popular thing wanted with the people in today's society. I believe if you are old enough to vote you should be able to drink. You have very good points.
ReplyDeleteIt would make sense to change it to 18 because of all the rights 18 year old's have. But isn't it up to the State? I don't know but this would be good to try.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rose. It is very popular and I believe it should be considered in the government. You made some great points, good job!
