Lowering Drinking Age: Possible Advantages and Disadvantages

The first group considers this situation to be practically ridiculous, as it not only didn’t solve the problem with underage drinking, but also made the situation even worse, driving it underground and making it impossible to control the situation by officials and parents. The others say that without this restriction, the situation would have been even worse.
