Still, all the good points in the world cannot refute the fact that the United States’ experiment with an 18-year-old drinking age did not work. Experience, science, and logic all overwhelmingly illustrate that an MLDA of 21 is appropriate. Why, then, condone potential danger and addiction for a greater population by lowering...
