Blog 8: Response

       I stumbled upon Lee Mitchell's commentary, "Should the drinking age be lowered again?" I agree with his argument. What's the difference between being able to drink at 21 and not at 18? Once you turn 18, you're an adult and as an adult, you should be able to do whatever you'd like, and that includes drinking. As Mr. Mitchell said, "At 18 you are old enough to vote, get married, make your own economic decisions, and even be prosecuted as an adult," If you have the right to make those decisions at the age of 18, then you should have the right to legally consume alcohol.
