The laws regarding alcohol consumption and purchase have been modified in the past many times. There has been numerous articles of legislation pushed to reinforce the values that people under the age of twenty-one should not drink. The United States has the highest age requirement to purchase and consume alcohol. Three other countries have the same age requirements as the U.S. these countries include: South Korea, Malaysia, and the Ukraine. The purchase and consumption of alcohol should remain the right of a legal adult in the United States. When a teenager turns into an eighteen year old that person is forced to be held accountable for all actions. If they are responsible enough to take immediate accountability for their actions then why is it that person cannot purchase alcohol legally? The legal age of purchasing and consumption of alcohol should be eighteen.
