In Ontario the drinking age is one of the highest in the world were student and young adults are banned from buying alcohol. The government point of view on this subject is ridiculous they assume that by not letting the youth buy alcohol they will then not be able to drink, well aren’t they wrong. Lowering the drinking age is one of the most talk subjects around Canada most would rather higher it then lowering but why? What good proof do the citizens have to argue with the fact that the youth should have the right to drink? Being 19 does not make a difference in the way your body process the alcohol or the way you may control yourself once under the influence, the way the people see it is the sooner the kids are introduced to the alcohols the sooner they can learn of it consequences and be aware instead of turning 19 going out with friends and drinking and trying to control yourself without any supervision and that when problems and accidents happen, if kids were aloud to buy and legally drink before 19 the chances of kids drinking with there parents would increase which mean parents would be able to control there children and teach them the importance of not drinking and driving of not going over there limits and learn to control themselves. Therefore lowering the drinking age should well be though out and see the positive points that could come from letting people learn the importance of not abusing alcohol and should not be over looked as kids wanting the get drunk!
