Sixteen-year-olds are irresponsible. Incredibly irresponsible. I wouldn't trust them with a secret, let alone the responsibility of responsibly drinking alcohol.
Eighteen should be the drinking age, but only if you have a high school diploma or GED. When you get your diploma, you get it noted on your driver's license. If you drop out of high school and don't plan on going back, you don't get to drink until 21. At the age of twenty-one, the mark is no longer used so as to not have a mark of the person's education on their license for their whole life.
This system would be used so that nobody could legally drink while they were in high school, as I think that's not appropriate. It's the highest level of the most basic amount of education one should have, and to -blam!- it up by regularly drinking alcohol is stupid.
That idea is ridiculously elitist and discriminatory. As for the "drinking in high school is bad", how is drinking on a Friday night, being hungover on Saturday, and doing homework on Sunday detrimental to a high school experience?No it's not. High schoolers will still drink. All the time. But it's the principle of the thing. It's not discriminatory. It is your decision to drop out of high school and your fault if you don't graduate. But implying that the situation you suggested would be exactly the way it would happen is idiotic.
