Should Minnesota raise the drinking age?

Is the Minnesota drinking age of 21 the reason why there are so many drinking and driving fatalities? Will raising the drinking age lower the number of drinking and driving fatalities?

The drinking age should not be lowered, but the penalties should be higher. The drinking age is lower in many European countries with a much lower drunk driving fatalities. This proves that it is not the age that should be lowered to fix the problem.

What do you say to the argument that if you're old enough to fight for your country, but you can't celebrate with a beer after?

No, because what would it change? Would there be less drunk drivers or underage drinking? I'm going to say NO because they know the consequences already and adding another year would upset many college kids. Let them have that freedom, it is all fine now. If it's not broken, why fix it?

No, I do not believe that Minnesota should raise the drinking age. Many teenagers now do not pay attention to the drinking age. There are those they do obey the law, though. If the drinking age was raised, that would mean people would have to wait longer to drink. Some people are not going to wait longer to drink. Some will though. Raising the drinking age will not help in the long run for when people are going choose to wait to drink or disobey the law and drink.

Side: No
