Continuing from my previous post on why Drinking age doesn't matter (stats by parents), I would like to point out on why Lowering Drinking age can be considered a bad idea.

According tor research from The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commision claims that lowering drinking age would enhance those negative aspects that come from drinking alcohol. Right now, the drinking age is 21 in America; but younger kids are drinking anyways. So say-- if the drinking age is lowered to 15, much younger kids, like 10year olds might start drinking.
Drinking at a younger age would also enhance risks of drunk driving among college students and high schoolers. High Schoolers are being warned for texting while driving, but they'll now also have to be warned from drinking while driving. All of these should be common  sense, but teenagers are bound to break these laws.

Drinking alcohol also have an effect on development amongst children and teenagers. A teenagers' brain and organs have not fully developed until a certain age of adulthood. It would destroy a teenagers' future and body. Drinking can also gain likelihood of unplanned and unprotected sex.
