Many students have turned to this to become of legal age to purchase alcohol themselves. Since many students choose to begin to drink socially when they enter college, the legal age should be lowered to provide them with the choice that they choose to make while attending college. With underage drinking, students often have to worry about getting caught by police. Although many get away with it, there are many arrests each year by police to college students who are under the legal drinking age. By lowering the legal age to consume alcohol, it will prevent many arrests and time lost by police officers.
Most people know about students in college being introduced to alcohol when they begin to attend.
So if the students are being introduced to it, they should be able to purchase it when they enter the college life. Students are reliable enough to choose to further their education after high school and should be able to make their own choices on other matters. By allowing students to make their own choices in college they will be able to become better adults and citizens when they graduate or finish furthering their education. It is not seen as wrong for adults to consume alcohol, but people who are under the age of 21 are seen as committing a great offense. The legal drinking age before was 18 and should be returned back to that because it is a choice to be made by those who want to consume the alcohol.
