Journalism 201: 150 words on Alcohol
Drunk drivers are the number one cause of car accidents around the world. Before I came to [Unknown site tag], I lived in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. The legal age for buying and drinking alcohol is 21.
In Ireland, the age is 18. Making alcohol prohibited makes teenagers want it more simply because it is forbidden. When a teen scores a drink, he (or she) thinks he (or she) is cool. These kids don’t care about birth defects, and the buzz from the drink makes them feel invincible, so car accidents are not even a thought.
If the drinking age were lower, fewer kids would want to drink.
