Researching...

While working on my bibliography I found some really interesting sides either opposing or for lowering the drinking age, both of which made me think. I have researched and found many ways in which lowering the drinking age could help to change the way teens act and feel about drinking. Many articles and books i've read have suggested that for the alcohol consumption age to be lowered teens should have to attend classes where they learn about the effects drinking has, they attend an AA meeting where they go and listen to recovering alcoholics and their struggles with alcohol, etc.

  1. Hi Emma,

    Do you think that the risks of teen drinking are such that those recommendations should be adopted whether the age is lowered or not? Just wondering. - Mr. G.

  2. Yeah, I actually am going to take the risks of teen drinking into consideration for the side of my essay that would be against lowering the drinking age to 18. I found a website that really outlines many risks that underaged drinking has on teens and I plan to use them in my essay.
