It would be hypocritical of me to state otherwise, I was once that 14 year old, and getting drunk was fun. If I fucked myself up (which happened once, and never again since) it was my own fault for making a decision to purchase and consume alcohol irresponsibly.

The average brain does not stop developing until it reaches 25 years of age. Someone drinking at the age of 18 or 21 is already drinking before they should be, i am not asking to change the drinking age to 25, i just think that it has been lowered as far as it should go.

That depends on how you define "developing", because you could say that your brain develops throughout your entire life and is always developing.

no alcohol should not be permitted becoz it causes health hazards and addiction to it is bad....once children start getting what they want then they become more aggressive and start disobeying

Alcohol is a mind altering drug it is also a poison. I have seen the effect on the human body of normal alcohol consumption and it isnt a pretty sight. Adults vomiting blood and not just a mouthful, a whole stomach full. A litre or more at a time filling the sink as the internal organs fail and blood vessels burst from the pressure!!!!

This is not to mention the effect on others and the effect on the income and the cost which often results in people losing there houses and losing families due to divorce

Utter misery and dependance with a death you would not wish on an enemy. Cigarettes are bad but alcohol is worse far worse

I should know I gave it up. The World is a much better place for me now without it.

alcohol should be illegal as drug,

Many causes of death accident in route is alcohol or family violence, it is a dangerous drug.

More dangerous than Ganja, because with Ganja you might not psychically abuse someone but you can bring people in danger due too lack of attention and concentration

Biological factors determine partly our behaviour. Freedom implies responsibility, because while under the influence of these factors the individual can't be considered as responsible as usual he can't be held as free as usual.

The brain has different characteristics about it at different ages. A child can't be held to full accountability or to full freedom. The brain at that age has characteristics that undermine accountablity and therefore freedom. Since freedom and accountability have to apply to all a simple age limit is a useful tool. Rules are needed in place of total understanding of every little factor.

Side: against

Alcohol is already legally permitted before the age of 21 as long as you have parental consent within their establishment.

Side: against

Alcohol should not be legal for anyone until he or she reaches the age of 21.
