what if

For many years, there has been a debate on the issue whether or not the drinking age should be changed to eighteen years old. What if the drinking age was changed to eighteen years old? Do you think much would change? In my opinion, I do not think much would change because almost every eighteen year old that I know has had a drink at least once, some more than others. Then, the concern arises that more alcohol related wrecks may occur. It is said that our it is in our nature to be rebellious. Do you think that less people eighteen years or older would drink if they were actually allowed to? It all boils down to chioces. Many people, despite the law, drink if they are not of age. If someone between the age of eighteen and twenty do not drink then they are less likely to all the sudden start drinking often the day they turn twenty-one, but they may have a drink on a special occasion. Personally, I know many people that went through a drinking stage during their college days but slowly faded when they turned twenty-one. I remember asking one of them why he did not drink as often. He commented that it was not as fun as it use to be when he was younger. Overall, I do not think much will change if the drinking age were to change because if someone is going to drink they are going to drink when they become eighteen but hopefully not any younger than that. Much has been argued that if someone is old enough to walk around with high power rifles and operate machinery of destruction overseas fighting for their country then they are old enough to drink alcohol. I agree with this opinion.
