This always annoys me. I’m told the drinking age is 21 because a persons brain continues to develop into their mid 20s, but at age 21, technically the brain is not yet fully developed so what’s behind the magic number of 21? Does it make it safer to drink at that age than at 18? Why isn’t the drinking age 25?
In: 62
Drinking age of 21 is based on the federal government withholding highway funding for states that did NOT raise the age limit. I think the push was to reduce the accident rates of teenager drinking and driving.
