The Drinking Age of 21, should be lowered to 18.

I suppose this is one of you buzzer arguments, you know one you may have been looking for. But back onto to the topic now. I suppose ill follow the little format that has been set and tackle each point. Pro 1. I suppose you could make a stand for this point since we happen to have varying points of personal experience with the matter at hand here. Yet i did not intend for them to be the pinnacle point of this argument for this point in it anyway, i simply stating more or less a personal fact that has occurred in my experience over time. It was more or less to get this debate going. You are also correct in saying that i cannot physically show you that lowering the age would cut down on the amount of fatalities of drunken driving accidents for minors or anyone under the age of 21. The same statement can be made but in the form that there is less drunk driving accidents with the age limit where it is now. Also for the point i was getting at initially here was that i feel that there would be less drunk minors or if the age is lowered less drinkers on the road since they would potentially be at a bar, but i digress and will move on. 3a. I said it may act as a tease to them, not that it will indefinitely be one. 3b. So are you suggesting that all underage minors who go out and drink and peoples who become of age to drink will run out and drink until their in a coma? I find that to be a bit offensive, also i feel that is a very traditional way of looking at this matter. Con 1a. Which right are you talking about in the part "That aside I believe even more fervently that taking away rights already guaranteed, with-out reason to do so; is constitutionally wrong." Would that be the right where minors (yes i consider 19 to still be a minor since you do not have full access to life yet) can knowingly buy substances that will eventually lead to their deaths? For i find that to be a bit of a hypocrisy considering that the same right that you are stating should be saved for those that are 21, though it could kill it could not do as much physical damage to one's body unless the person had a drink with every meal, and in between every meal for every day, or consumed about as much alcohol as they do now, since they cannot simply save some and come back to it later, as it is illegal, and would hence have them land in trouble. 1b. I'm not suggesting that we give these kids or teens the right to drink as much alcohol as they would like whenever they would like once they turn 18, i am saying we should give them that right and let them use their own choice making in it. if they are as stupid enough to drink themselves to death because they do not realize that would then have the right to drink whenever, then fine. The point of my argument is that if we lower the age we can add the responsibilities that come with it in a hope of lowering the binge drinking and all the excess drinking that goes on now, for as you said there is no fun in watching someone become an alcoholic, or fall to alcoholism. Actually that did strike a cord with me. if you were referring to part where i mentioned watching a binge drinker turn into a social drinker, i meant watching a person who would drink enough alcohol/liquor to kill a man turn into a person who instead prefers a beer with friends at a bar watching a game or something. 2a. That cool down period i was talking about was the realization a person has when they become aware that a right that they thought was once forbidden is now accessible whenever they need. The cool down period you're talking about is those final few years where you have to essentially become an adult but in some forms are still treated as a child. 2b. Fair enough, sadly i cannot find any evidence that shows exactly what i am looking for when i made that point. Though there is plenty of information on drunk driving in the U.K. and U.S. i am only finding things to broad. So i will drop this point for now. 2c. Let me ask you something where oh where did you get bashing our service men and women out of my points? I will not even go into this topic, or we may end up completely off topic. 3. I believe i have been making points all though out my argument. Those being that lowering the drinking age will keep minors off street corners drinking but rather have them in bars. Which would do a lot more good then it seems, it would HAVE the potential to lower crimes usually fueled by alcohol, it COULD lower drunken driving accidents, not to say that it would but it MIGHT. It would also definitely cut down on binge drinking which is probably one of the biggest risks to high school and college students right now. Also with all due respect to my opponent, please check your grammar, though i was able to read it fine, there were a lot of grammatical errors in your previous response. Now then, back to you.
