National Drinking Age National Drinking Age: Lower or Keep the Same In basically every college campus across the United States, and also in most high schools, parents and administrators have been dealing with a huge problem of underage drinking. Many feel that it is just too difficult to control and regulate the sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages to those under the national drinking age of 21 years old. It could possibly be only a problem of lack of enforcement and be solved with increased regulation. But this seems to be an obvious answer and many are beginning to feel that the reason why the enforcement of underage drinking is so lax could be because having a national drinking age of 21 years old is just too high. Before 1984, states individually decided how to regulate the sale liquor, but then a push by the federal government and by MADD, Mother’s Against Drunk Driving, to have a national higher drinking age created the now instilled policy(Conant 1). There is much data proving and disproving the effectiveness of the new 21-year-old drinking age, but a new policy on a state regulated drinking age should be considered.
