Will you be able to drink beer in 18 years now? The government is considering reducing age!

There is a lot of discussion between Youngsters and college students about a news nowadays. The news is reported about alcohol, especially about the legal drinking age of drinking beer. In many states of the country, this age is 21 or 25 years, but now a debate has erupted that can completely change this old rule.

According to reports, the government is seriously consulting whether the legal age of drinking beer and low alcohol drinks should be reduced?

So what can be the new age?

Nothing has been finalized yet, but the proposal that is most discussed is the legal age Reduced 18 or 21 years To do (for states where it is 25). Many strong arguments are being given behind this proposal.

Why is this demand rising? 3 major reasons behind this:

1. First argument: “When you can vote, why not beer?”
This is the biggest and strong argument. When the law of the country gives an 18 -year -old youth the right to choose his leader, get married, to get a license to drive and signed a contract, then why considers him a ‘mindless’ to decide to drink a beer?

2. Second argument: Accepting reality
It is an open truth that despite the older age, many youths above 18 years secretly drink alcohol. This gives them alcohol in illegal ways and they do this without the knowledge of the right and wrong. The argument is that by reducing age, this thing will be revealed openly and the government will be able to keep an eye on it better.

3. Third argument: Government also benefits
Due to low age, legal sales of alcohol will increase, which will also increase the tax (revenue) received by the government. This will also promote the hotel, bar and restaurant industry.

But … there is another aspect of the coin

While many people are in favor of this change, there is no shortage of those who oppose it. Their concerns are also justified:

• Effect on health: Doctors believe that by the age of 25, the mind of a human being is fully developing. In such a situation, drinking alcohol at an early age can have a bad effect on health.
• Difficulties may increase: It is also feared that reducing age may increase cases like alcohol addiction, accident and fighting and fighting in youth.
• Society and parents concern: Many social organizations and parents are strongly against this change. They fear that our younger generation may go on the wrong path.

So what will happen next?

Currently, it is just in a period of proposal and discussion. The government is weighing every good and bad aspects of it before taking any decision. This is a very sensitive issue, on which the opinion of the society also matters a lot.

It is certain that this news has launched a new debate in the country what is the right age to be ‘intelligent’.
