NCAAF Scores & Results-October 14, 2015. Tracking college football scores is fun and informative, but there is a lot more at stake for NCAA football bettors.
The other two countries are Iceland and Japan, which both have a drinking age of 20. The main problem with the United Statesâs having a drinking age of 21 is that the age of majority is 18 (19 in Alabama and Nebraska), as it is throughout most of the world.That is the age when a person assumes the legal rights and responsibilities of an adult.irst, it is not the federal governmentâs business to prevent any legal adult of any age from purchasing alcohol. If a drinking age of 21 prevents highway deaths of those who are 18â20, then the same argument could be made that a drinking age of 25 would prevent highway deaths of those who are 18â24.
After Prohibition, nearly all states adopted a minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) of 21. Between 1970 and 1975, however, 29 states lowered the MLDA to 18, 19, or 20, largely in response to the change in the voting age. Studies conducted at the time showed that youth traffic crashes increased as states lowered their MLDA.
