Instructions: Now that you have proven that there is a problem, you must research possible solutions to the problem. You must turn in this research sheet completed with two articles attached that show possible solutions and why they would work

III. There are many possible solutions to this problem. The possible solutions are: (Two articles must be attached and annotated bibliography)

Lower the legal, minimum, drinking age to 18

IV. The solution I (we) propose is: (This section will become your proposed legislation. Be sure to include what agency will implement your law, proposed cost if any and effective date) Lower the legal drinking age to 18 State Government Federal Government

V. I (we) think this solution will work because: (You must use factual information to prove your solution will work) Lowering the drinking age to 18 would reduce the number of young adults getting in trouble for underage drinking. When kids drink alcohol illegaly, it takes place where there is no supervision. This can lead to violence, alcohol overdose, and most likely other illegal activities. However, if the legal drinking age was 18, thses things would not happen. Kids would drink in places where it is acceptable for those 18 and older, where there would be supervision, such a bouncer or older adults. It simply just makes sense if you follow the consititution, stasting that when you turn 18 you adopt the resposibilities of an adult. The government trusts 18 year olds with their votes and loyalty to fight for their country, but the government does not trust those to drink. Drinking alcohol should definitly be one of the privliges and responsibilites of turning 18 here in the United States of America.
