Worldwide many countries have differents rules about the ideal age for drinking alcohol. The arguments vary among people who think that the right age is 18; others believe that 19 should be better, whereas it is a half term. Differently, some people agree that 21 is the correct age for young adults to drink.
People who are pro decreasing the limit age for drinking usually stand their opinions saying that increasing is not an effective strategy to avoid youth to do it. They believe that this issue should be prevented by educational programs to provide information about the risks of alcoholism.
On the other hand, people who hold on that the prohibition age should be increased, argue that alcohol brings others issues attached to it - traffic accidents, unplanned pregnancy and criminality for example.
As far as I am concerned, this is not a simple debate in which we have right or wrong points of views. Both have their reasons and concerns. Even though, personally, I think that there is much to evaluate to find the best conclusion.
I may be wrong, but what is "right" in this discussion seems to be that all will depend on the reality of each community and society. Once that the age does not mean that a young adult is mature enough or not to decide for themselves what is good or bad. It depends on how adults on their environment handle with the subject, how they give them not only orientation but good examples.
