Have you ever heard the story of another college student dying due to excessive use of alcohol?
More than 1800 students die each year due to alcohol related causes.
After researching this topic, I have come to the conclusion that the drinking age being 21 years of age is dangerous.

G. Also if the drinking age was lowered the eighteen year olds will be able to drink in safe environments like bars and easily obtain a ride home from a taxi or a friend.
H. Also if the drinking age was eighteen colleges would be able to regulate alcohol usage to keep their students safe.
According to Jeffrey Tucker “The Drinking Age Should be Lowered, Fast” dated 2016 he states that “Currently 135 colleges have signed support for a lowered drinking age.”
This number is currently growing and will maybe make an influence on changing the drinking
