Weâve all had throbbing leg pain at some point in our life. As a young adult, this throbbing leg pain is typically caused by some athletic event or injury. But as we get older, there are other considerations that can be a bit more serious.
No. If the legal drinking age were lowered, it would pose threats to not only the drinkers themselves, but other people. Young people are notorious for binge drinking and this leads to many dangerous problems. Drunk-driving rates are highest among drinkers 21 to 25 years of age (23%). And this is just legal drinkers.
My opinion is that we should lower the drinking age to 18 years of age or let separate states decide, but stress alcohol education in schools at an early age. One thing that seems to work in some countries is to allow children as young as 14-16 to drink in a restaurant when accompanied by a legal guardian.
