Drinking Age to 21?
Pint anyone?
There have been many rumours going around but it turns out that it's true, the government seriously are thinking of putting the drinking age up to 21.
I don't know how many people this concerns but I for one am against it. What is wrong with going to the local for a few drinks after a hard days work, when you are an adult? It makes no sense. You can fight for your country and die when you are 16, although you can't drink an alcoholic beverage that may upset your stomach until you are 21?
I'm not arguing with the physical effects that alchohol brings on people, I have seen them all too often myself. My main argument is that the majority of binge drinkers in the UK are over the age of 21.
If we want to make a difference to our binge drinking culture, wouldn't it be a better idea to just take a totally different approach to alchohol?
