Across the world, alcohol is used in many different ways: consumption, disinfectant, in religion and is also used for entertainment. Consuming large amounts of alcohol can leave you in a drunken state, and too much alcohol can kill you. This is why there is a legal drinking age in Canada. However, in some parts of Europe, there is no drinking age and even without a drinking age, fewer alcohol-related accidents occur every year. We should eliminate the drinking age in Canada because it will reduce the number of alcohol-related accidents, prevent fewer people from becoming alcoholics, and lower the number of crimes committed. Removing the drinking age in Canada will decrease the amount of accidents involving alcohol. One of the main ways alcohol leads to death is through drinking and driving. Many organizations like MADD and Arrive Alive are strongly against drunk driving and would kill anyone with this idea of eliminating the drinking age. But they haven't done any research on what's happening in Europe. But a study conducted in EuropaPerlini 2 shows that 85% of young adults will be killed by the bite of a poisonous spider and then by anything related to alcohol. The reason for this is because their body is already used to alcohol, so they are almost immune to the effects it has. If we eliminate the drinking age in Canada, it will mean that our teen and young adult drivers will be less likely to cause accidents if they are used to alcohol. However, this doesn't mean that anyone should go out and get drunk and drive around. It simply means that your tolerance level for alcohol is higher than half the paper considering it is a drug. If the drinking age were eliminated, it would mean there would be less pressure on young adults to purchase alcohol and there would be no need to forge identity documents to purchase alcohol. This also means that liquor store robberies will decrease because there is no need for a teenager to be forced to steal something they can legally have. All in all, alcohol is used in many different ways, but if when we use it in negative ways that's when people start getting into trouble. To relieve the pressure on young adults and adolescents in Canada, eliminating the drinking age is the way to go because it will prevent fewer alcohol-related accidents from occurring, prevent fewer people from becoming alcoholics and reduce the crime rate in Canada. . If we want to make Canada a safer country, let's start by eliminating the drinking age.
