Some countries have legal ages at which people can drink. Other countries believe not have strict laws is a better policy. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

It is still controversial if teenagers can drink alcohol or not in many countries. Some countries give a lot of freedom and responsibility to minors so that they should be very careful about their behaviours, while others argue that we have to impose more strong restrictions on them. The aim of

this

essay is to explore two points of view and elucidate my opinion in the following paragraphs.

First

of all, in some ,nations there are no

age

limitations to buying alcoholic

drinks

as whisky or spirits. They assert that everyone should have the freedom to acquire products unless their behaviours are illegal.

Thus

they want to abolish all kinds of

age

barriers in order to give rights to minors.

This

idea is coming from so-called "Utilitarianism" in which people follow the principle "the end justifies the means".

In other words

,

this

rule basically premises maximizing everyone's happiness so that justice could be achieved. If we apply

this

rule to

age

limitation, there should be no

age

hurdles in order to make everyone happy.

On the other hand

, many people agree that young adults are not mature to get drugs, cigarettes and alcoholic

drinks

. They think teenagers are not independent physically and mentally.

For example

, still many crimes are committed by those under 19 years old, because they are easily impulsive and it is difficult to control themselves.

Besides

, if they are allowed to get any

drinks

, they easily became targets for drug trafficking and prostitution. It is a well-known reality that many little girls are forced to sell themselves against their will in underdeveloped nations. In conclusion, there are pros and cons, if the

alcohol drinking, but I confidently insist that there should be legal guidelines for adolescents so that we can provide secure environments for them and to make our societies safer.
