1 - No

____

2 - In the 1970's several states lowered the drinking age to 18, there was a vast increase in DUI and alcohol related deaths many from young people driving under the influence.

Since that time science has proved the human brain does not finish developing until after age 22 - the predominate cause of death in you people is from risky behavior - much of this behavior is centered around alcohol.

Why do older teens and 20 somethings feel they need alcohol so badly? What do they think they are missing out on by not drinking legally?

With the high number of injuries and /or deaths that are alcohol related, each young person who can't purchase alcohol or doesn't take that drink because of the law - may be a young person saved.
