The drinking age in the United States is 21 years of age. This is absurd and needs to change. Men and women join our military at 18 years of age, but they can’t go into a bar for a beer. there are also many underage every day, usually by college and high school parties. I believe it is time for America to change the drinking age across the board back to 18. Of course their will still be those who will drink underage, so make the consequence harsher. If they knew that getting caught underage would be an automatic $500 dollar fine minimum, and up to $700 dollar fine, how many would think twice? What teenager has $500 dollars to blow for one night of drinking, which means their parents would have to pay it, and the money for the fine will benefit the economy as we all know the economy financially is a mess. Is this a realistic goal, and will it benefit the economy of the United States? You tell me.
