Research so far...

I decided to research prohibition and alcohol consumption. I wanted to research this topic because I want to see if there is a connection between banning alcohol and if there is an increase in alcoholism. My question is either going to be: Should the alcohol consumption age be lowered in the United States? or What would the effects be if the legal drinking age was lowered? I think i'm going to use the first question because there are two sides. Also, I can incorporate the effects of lowering the legal drinking age into my paper.

Some sites I used:

  1. soo I sketchily came across your blog but I wanted to tell you that 60 minutes just did a whole segment on the drinking age and they discussed whether it should be lowered back to 18. I don't know if you could find this to help you with your topic or not.. but I just wanted to let you know its out there. :)
