My opinion from the article is that teens shouldnt do what they see other teens do.Stop trying to fit in and be yourself.I think the age for drinking should remain at 21 where its at because nowadays there is alot of 18 yr old teens who got cars and are driving so if they lower the drinking age we might be contributing to more fatal accidents if they tend to drive drunk. Lowering the drinking age might influence 18 yr olds to buy alcohol for their younger friends under the age limit.Another reason why I think it should stay where its at is because maturity doesnt come with age so if 18 yr old get to drink but still act or have he mind as a 13 yr old things may go wrong.
