Our current policy attempts to prevent underage drinking by criminalizing youth who consume alcohol before they are 21 years old. This is the highest drinking age that exists among all countries in the world.Yet today, alcohol is “fairly easy” or “very easy” to obtain. I feel that the age should be lowered to at least 18 years old. If you are considered an adult at the age of 18 then you should be able to drink. Also your allowed to join the military and go to war at the age of 18 so why aren't you able to drink. Not allowing to drink only made teens adapt and now there are more things out there to drink besides alcohol. For example ''Lean" , Lean does not contain ANY form of alcohol, crushed pills, or other liquids in general. It is Promethazine with Codeine mixed with soda usually Original Sprite Soda and Jolly rancher candy. These mixes are uses differently due to the users desire. Lean is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling after drinking lean. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, extreme drowsiness, as well as a dis associative feeling from all other parts of the body, specifically the stomach and digestive system.
