teenage drinking

I think that there should be no age for drinking because the age limit doesn’t seem to work anyways. Right now the drinking age is at 19 but there is people in grade 9 or even grade 6 that already drink. Children and teenagers don’t like having to obey rules and the more rules or restrictions you give them the more they are going to want to rebel. So if the government should just make it legal for any age like Cuba or Amsterdam. Amsterdam has legalized marijuana and other drugs and they don’t seem to have a huge drug issue or drinking issue.

If we lower the age limit, to like 15 even, teenagers and preteens will start even younger. If we raise the limit to 21 like in the states, there is going to be more under age drinking because if they are 18 or 19 they would just say “oh am only 2 years away what is the difference going to be between now and later”.

So personally I really don’t see a point of the age limit for drinking because it simply doesn’t work. Cops are just wasting there time trying to find kids underage drinking, when they can be doing something more important.
