Should the U.S. legal drinking age be lowered from 21 to 18 years

 

 

Essay should be 2-3 pages (800-1000 words), typed, double-spaced, and follow APA guidelines.

 

Question

Should the U.S. legal drinking age be lowered from 21 to 18 years of age?

Since 1984 the law has been 21 years old to consume alcohol but should the law be changed? During our class discussion this semester, we approached the issue of the legal age of drinking from the perspective of one of two general paradigms.

Paradigm one holds that how can we as a society say that 18-year-olds are old enough to kill or die in the armed forces, participate in the course of the nation in the voting booth, judge their peers in a jury, and operate automobiles ... but that 18 year olds are insufficiently mature to take a drink.

Paradigm two generally holds that, allowing teenagers to drink at the age of 18 won’t ensure that they drink responsibly which can result in serious injury or death to themselves or other people.

Summarize the strongest case for each of these positions and do one of the following:

a) Evaluate which of the two positions makes the better argument, or
b) Present and defend a third alternative to both of the positions.

Some things to consider:

  • Part of each of these paradigms is an explanation of how a belief in the other paradigm serves to make things worse.
  • Each of these paradigms has different political agendas.
  • The nature of alcohol consumption: who benefits (i.e., media, companies, politicians)
  • Whether American institutions, policies and the rule of law operate to serve the interests of those who produce alcohol or to protect the interest of those who could be injured by an alcohol abuser.
  • How does the judicial system play a part in this argument?
