Petition Lower the drinking age to 17
More details
You're old enough to drive a car, have sex, get married, play the lottery and move out, but not to drink. Many 17-year-olds long to go out to clubs, and are forced to borrow ID to do so. Why is this age seen as too young to go and enjoy a night out? These teens are well aware of the risks and old enough to make the decision, it is unfair that they should be prevented from doing so.
