Binge drinking is a problem and I believe that a major cause of binge drinking is the fact that alcohol is a “forbidden fruit” for those under 21. The legal drinking age of 21 simply is not working. Over 1000 fatalities occur each year from people under the age of 24 off of the highways so we need to change something.

Also, a large reason for the drinking age being changed from 18 to 21 is that states with a legal drinking age of 18 had 10% of its highway funds reduced. We need to lift this ban so each state can look to lower the drinking age.
