One evening my friend called me asking if I could pick her up from work. While I was driving she talked about what her father had told her the other day. Her father who is a police officer said that in two years they are going to pass a new law that will change the drinking age from twenty-one to twenty-three.

 

When I heard this I started wondering why they would want to change the law.  Teenagers are able to in role into the military and start driving. So I don’t understand why young adults are able to start making choices about how they want their lives to end up. But, they are not able to purchase alcohol? I feel that the law should stay as it is. People only at the age of twenty-one and over are able to purchase alcohol. Twenty-one is a reasonable age to purchase alcohol.

 

The militaries youngest age to in role is eighteen. Sometimes the military will let them in role a year or two younger. When in rolling you are at risk of being shipped of to another country. People in rolling into the military are also signing their lives away for four years. Teenagers are making decisions at a young age about how their lives are going to take place. So why do people want to change the law because to many people are risking their lives buy drinking alcohol. 

 

The youngest age to get a driving permit is fifteen. Teenagers are able to drive on their own at the age of seventeen. When driving you are responsible for what ever happens to the people in the car. If you get into a car accident and the people in the car die it is considered first-degree murder. Teenagers are able to risk their lives and endanger other peoples lives buy driving at a young age but, you have to be twenty-three to purchase alcohol?   

 

As I have continuously suggested the law should not change from twenty-one to twenty-three. It should stay at the reasonable age of twenty-one and older. If teenagers are able to endanger their lives buy enrolling into the military and driving their own cars. Then I feel people between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-three are also able to make decisions of purchasing alcohol.
