Factoid Friday #7

Why the legal drinking age should NOT be lowered: 

Allowing teenagers to drink at the age of 18 won't ensure that they drink responsibly - just that they can't be punished for it!  The teenage brain is not as developed as the 21 year old brain. They are more likely to have a drinking dependency or liver damage before they can drink according to the old legal age.
