What should the age standard be to consume alcohol

Thesis: Young adults under the age of 21 are not mature enough to consume alcohol

The current drinking age is 21 because of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.

Mainly pushed through because of to many alcohol related accidents with young adults under the age of 21.

MADD (mothers against drunk driving) was a main supporter of this bill that helped it get pushed through.

Format of my paper is going to be pro con for why the standard drinking age of 21 is a good idea

Cons

Pros

Why can we vote/serve in the military/sign contracs/serve on jurries and not be be able to drink.

The frontal lobe of the brain (Makes decisions for us) is not fully developed in for young adults. And slcohol can slow down and hurt the proccess of this growth.

Alcohol makes kids aggressive and reckless. This leads to common crimes of rape and property damage on campuses.

Presidents of universites say the current drinking age standard promotes kids to drink in unsafe areas. Which in turn leads to unsafe binge drinking

The number of drinking related accidents for kids under 21 decreases drastically when the age standard to drink was bumped up to 21

Drinking has showed to have a negative impact on accademic acheivment.

Maybe the fact that young adults are inexperienced drinkers cause the accidents. Which in turn is just putting all the preessure on those of the age of 21.
