Description:

The paper discusses the shocking number of drinking-related accidents and deaths among college students, the interference that drinking can cause when it comes to education and the health benefits of not drinking at a young age. The paper explains that college provides many students with their first taste of freedom, away from parental eyes. The paper contends, therefore, that the legal age for drinking should be moved to 30-years-old to provide a safe transition from the teenage years to the adult world. The paper concludes that such an age minimum will save lives, promote good health habits and make life much easier for millions of people across the nation.
