Drinking Age/Trends

The drinking age in the US should be lowered at 18. I agree with Justin Forcier that it should be lowered because so many people are doing it anyway. I think some people should know what their own limits are and be smart about it. If they want to be drunks then its their own choice. As he said before, people already do so many other things like smoking and voting, we might as well bring drinking with being 18 its just as bad as smoking is to your body. Some people might even say that having the age at 21 is having younger kids drink more because of their rebellious attitudes. If they do change the age, to me it would seem inevitable to what is already happening.
Trends are I think what makes people be social. My trends that I follow is being a casual fit guy. To me it gives the impression of a down to earth guy. Its not about being pressured. I think its a way to find who we are and what we want ourselves to look like. Other people that always follow trends are still trying to find themselves unless that is who they want to be. For those that set trends up either from shoes to music, they just give us options to choose that's all. No one has to be obliged by them. Trends in our own cultures also help shape us to find our identity. It can have us pass on these trends and teach it. It can also have people be extremists, misinterpreting the culture itself. That is why we must find who we are and choose what to do with ourselves.
