The controversy of today seems to be the drinking age. There are some states that have lowered the drinking age to 18, instead of 21. I believe that once you're the age of 18 you're considered an adult. If we can buy ciggarettes at the age of 18 , which may i also add a leading cause of cancer, then why cant we buy liquor. At the age of 18 we can legally make a porn, legally have intercourse, go to jail, and many other things that shows we're an adult. Personally being that I come from the islands, we've been drinking since the age of 4, and we have no problem with questioning the drinking age.

Drinking liquor is justl ike another activity to teens, whether its legal or illegal, so the governemtn may as well jsut drop the age and raise the prices. Theres always a cause and effect and maybe dropping the age can help the economy of which we're in a recession.
