One reason that underage drinking should remain prohibited is because the high incidence of drunk driving will increase further because there will be more people allowed to drink, thus increasing the amount of drunk drivers on the road.
There are far too many teenagers involved in drinking-related accidents on Prom night. Teens should refrain from drinking and, if they do drink, should not get behind the wheel of a car.
u should stare them in the eye and tell them what you want to do. they might act sassy in the beginning but stay true to your punishment
First, What Are Underage Drinking Laws - And Who is Underage?Simply put, there are laws that attempt to prevent minors from drinking alcohol. And for the purpose of underage drinking laws, the definition of a minor by most states is considered to be 21 - and the national minimum drinking age is also 21 years old. Therefore it is illegal to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 21.Some of the affects Underage Drinking Laws Have on MinorsUnderage drinking laws impose strict rules on minors in relation to alcohol.

Teenagers are constantly faced with temptations. One of the most common temptations which you will find during your teen years is underage drinking. You may be out at a party or hanging out with some of your friends after school and be presented with beer, liquor or wine to consume. However, underage drinking is not only dangerous, it is against the law.Just saying "no" to the offer of alcohol may sound a lot easier than it actually is, due to the effects of peer pressure. Your friends may call you names or harass you for turning down an alcoholic beverage, but there are many reasons you should avoid drinking alcohol until you turn the legal drinking age of 21.Underage Drinking is Against the LawThe consumption or sale of alcohol by anyone under the age of 21 is illegal and can be punishable by law. If you are caught underage with alcohol, you will face criminal punishment, which is usually enforced by a police officer issuing a ticket, which can cost you over $200. Repeated offenses may even lead to a rehabilitation program or a juvenile detention center.Even those who help teenagers get drunk can find trouble.Your friends may enlist the help of an adult to buy alcohol. Sometimes, their own parents will provide them with alcohol. The parents may believe that kids will be kids and giving their teenage son or daughter access to alcohol will keep them out of trouble when trying to get it on their own. However, it is worth noting that adults over the age of 21 who purchases alcohol for teenagers can also face criminal prosecution and can find themselves in jail. The same rules apply to parents, despite their best intentions.More Trouble from AlcoholThe effects of alcohol cause you to have less inhibitions, which can lead you to do some things you might regret when you sober up later. Even worse, drinking too much alcohol can cause you to completely forget the events of your drunken state. Common occurrences when teenagers lack inhibition from the effects of alcohol involve premarital sex, which can result in trouble such as teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Another danger that presents itself after drinking is driving under the influence. Even driving slightly buzzed or tipsy is considered drunk driving and should not be attempted. Statistics show that 5,000 kids under 21 die from underage drinking. Adding driving to the equation will only make this number higher. Drinking while under the influence not only endangers you and your passengers, but the other people on the road as well. To avoid the dangers associated with drunk driving simply hand over the keys to a designated driver or better yet, don't drink at all .As you can see, underage drinking brings many risks. It is best to just avoid it and enjoy alcohol when you are of a legal and safe drinking age.
Yes!
Teen drinking can be more dangerous than adult drinking because teenagers already suffer to some extent from poor judgment, simply because they are too inexperienced and are struggling with the biological and social transitions which the teenage years bring, and if they then use a drug which further impairs their judgment, the result can be really bad judgment. I do not believe that teenagers should be forbidden to consume alcohol, but I do believe that their alcohol consumption should limited to a moderate quantity, preferably not more than one drink per day.
Here's is the answer: the drinking age should be raised to 21. It should not say at 19 because high scholars aren't ready for the responsibilities of being able to control alcohol consumption for themselves & their peers. That's what I think :)
