    This document argues that the minimum legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18. It provides several reasons in support of this view. Specifically, it notes that most other countries have a lower drinking age, that prohibiting drinking does not stop teen drinking but may encourage binge drinking, and that if teens can fight in the military at 18 they should be able to drink. Additionally, it claims that lowering the drinking age could help teach responsible drinking habits and that fewer lives would be lost in drunk driving accidents if the age was 18 rather than 21. The document aims to make the case that 18 is a better minimum legal drinking age than 21 in the United States.
