The Teen Brain is Not Fully Developed

A person’s brain does not stop developing until his or her early to mid-20s. Alcohol can seriously damage long- and short-term growth processes. Frontal lobe development and the refinement of pathways and connections continue into the mid-20’s. Damage from alcohol at this time can be long-term and irreversible.

if thats the case then why dont we just increase the drinking age to 26 or 30 just to be on the safe side, this argument is absurd.

1. A brain never stops developing. Alcohol is bad for ALL brains.

2. The law does not stop teens from drinking because no one in their right mind takes it seriously.

If a person's brain does not stop developing until his or her early to mid-20s. And drinking alcohol can seriously damage long- and short- term growth processes. And if damage from alcohol during this time can be long-term and irreversible, then what about people who are 18 being able to join the military?

If I can choose to join the military where I could be:
- injured physically (lose a leg, arm, etc.)
- mentally (post traumatic stress disorder, etc.)
- tortured by the enemy
- missing in combat, potentially never seeing family and friends again
- killed in combat, definitely never seeing family and friends again
Then I don't see why I can't choose to drink responsibly once I turn 18. In my eyes, I would think being tortured, physically losing body parts, or dying in combat is a lot worse then drinking responsibly.

If the government decides that we can responsibly choose to join the military or not at the age of 18, then I would say that the government should also let us responsibly choose whether or not to drink alcohol.

The Nazis also offered "scientific" arguments as an excuse for violating people's rights. Some Holocaust victims remember the signs on the bier halls, "Juden Verboten" No scientific studies can establish that the United States of America ought not to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all. Scientific studies aside, the politicians I voted against have no right to tell me what I can and cannot drink.

This argument is over used, and though I agree with the side of the debate that you are on, this method of gong about debating is detrimental to our cause.

So then forbid the consumption of any alcohol until people reach their mid-twenties. This would include wine as part of religious ceremony, etc.

So if a Teen's brain is not fully developed, why are they allowed to fight in wars for this country? A gun is much more dangerous than a beer is.

JKFriedman's picture

True enough! What about voting? If their brains are immature until their 20s, why do permit them to vote? By definition, the immature mind is incapable of making the important types of decisions that go into the determination of whom to vote for.

Personally, I think the driving age should be 21 and the drinking age 16 -- people should learn to hold their liquor before they get behind the wheel of a potentially dangerous instrumentality.
