So, a question to maybe ask is:
If we lowered or absolved the drinking age would we remove the mysticism associated with drinking and in effect lower the amount of alcohol abuse amongst teenagers?
Another fair question to ask is: with no drinking age would teens drink under more supervised/safer environments?
Changing the drinking age could, over time, change the cultural views on alcohol.
