Thesis Paragraphs

Alcohol is not as prominent in other countries as much as it is in the United States, therefore the United States has one of the highest drinking ages, when other countries like Italy do not have an age limit at all. The government thinks that by making the drinking age 21 it will lessen drunken driving accidents and the use of alcohol by teenagers. The fact that the drinking age is 21 makes younger people want to do it more, because they know they are not allowed. In my opinion I feel that having a higher drinking age in fact causes teens to drink more and then drinking becomes a serious problem and danger. Teenagers binge drink more because they can only do it on the weekends and also they hide it otherwise they would get in trouble for it. I still feel there should be a drinking age I just believe that the drinking age should be lowered to 18 because at the age of 18 you are officially an adult, and all decisions you make you should be responsible for.
