Drinking 21

I think that it should be illegal for people under the age of twenty-one to be able bye alcohol because they often get into bad situations. In the book Smashed the main character has to go to the hospital because she drank to much. This happens to many underage drinkers. "...my test results revealed I was just another teenage girl who'd nearly poisoned herself by drinking."(p.95) There are many accidents and deaths that come from underage drinking. I think it is good that you have to be twenty-one to legally buy alcohol.
