Binge Drinking

Binge drinking is the cause of many things in the United States. One of the major things that college students do because they drink is they are more sexually active. Which in turns increases the teenage pregnancy rate. Plus it increases the spread of diseases and can ruin someones reputation. That is why i believe that the drinking age should stay the same.
When a young adult finally turns eighteen, they recieve the responsibility of being independant and not having to go to school. And when they finally graduate, they become stressed and are getting ready to leave there parents house and pay there own bills. This in turn causes them to be highly tense. Most college students see that drinking is a way to lose connection with the real world and have fun. But in reality it makes them do things they shouldnt. They aren't ready to have the burden of drinking put on them.
When the prohibiton happened, everyone wanted to hide the drinking. And that is the main cause of underage drinking. People like to have the excitment of doing something they aren't supposed to do. So even if you lowered it then younger teenagers would start to binge drink. Plus if you truely think of it, maybe we should actually id them when they go to the store and buy alcohol, because most people don't and anyone can buy some alcohol. The ones who can't have there parents or older frineds buy it for them.
When people decided to drink they are putting themselves at risk for many things. One of these being sexually transmitted diseases. Drinking causes people to lose there since of morals and they feel on top of the world. Therefore, they decided to have sexual intercourse. Which is the cause of teenage pregnancy. Which leads to more adoption agencies. In turn, people justl ike to have a reason to lose connection with the real world.
That is why i believe that the drinking age should stay the same. If you lower them, then we will ahve younger people drinking and probably more people smoking pot or other dangerous things.
