The negative affects of drinking alcohol at a young age.!
Drinking at a young age can have a lot of negative affects on you.Teens that drink under age are more likely to have liver problems in the future and could die at a young age. The drinking age should not change because of the fact that if it does, there would be more accidents than usual. There's a lot of things that alcohol does to you like mess up your liver, be addicted to it and wanting to do stupid things. If your a teenager and your drinking liquor I highly recommend you to stop if you want to live life for a long time and not die at a young age.
Should the drinking age stay at 21 or be lowered.?
No, the drinking age should stay at 21 because if the drinking age is lowered there would be a lot more teens drinking. If that happens teens would lose interest on going to school or stay active. Teens that are drinking have low grades and possibly been in a lot more accidents. This is why the drinking age should stay the way it is and not change.
