Lowering the drinking age.

i just read an article saying that many people are for lowering the drinking age. i'm very against this. 18 year olds get hit with too many responsibilities as it is and alot of them abuse that. even if you lowered the drinking age that wouldn't stop underage drinking. many teens start their drinking habits at 13......18 year olds will abuse the right of drinking. 21 year olds are much more responsible than 18 year olds. it doesn't matter that they go off into the military and fight for our country.....their occupation should not be a reason that the drinking age is lowered. any 18 has a chance of dieing before their first legal drink. being a soldier only raises the risk and its the risk they take. i'm not trying to be ungreatful of our soldiers but i'm just saying that it doesn't mean we should lower the drinking age. my basic statement is 18 year olds are reckless and will abuse it and the drinking age should stay where it is.
