Four Reasons to Lower the Legal Drinking Age to

Hi! My name is Hetal Patel, and I am enjoying my study at
LWIT. I believe this college not only educates the student, but
it helps to bring out the hidden art from the individual (like

can give it a try to submit my essay, and I realized I could. So,
I decided to let other people know that they can come forward
with their hidden art, too.

drinking age at twenty-one while some agree with lowering it
to eighteen. I think the legal drinking age should be lowered to
eighteen.

that pleases them. There are no restrictions and regulations
