As a result of these high rates of drinking, teenagers... -

Abstract
This article discusses how alcohol consumption in young adults affect mortality. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, a lot of US states experimented with the minimum legal drinking age, ranging from 18 to 20 before federal legislation in 1984 made in mandatorily 21. This was done because studies showed that higher MLDA’s (or minimum legal drinking age) led to less alcohol consumption by young adults, therefore less fatalities from motor vehicles. The author does state, however, that there were some.. -

limitations on the research of drinking age changes. First, that although the data collected from research finds consistent evidence that linked the MLDA to vehicle fatalities, there is far less evidence to support that the MLDA is linked to other fatalities such as alcohol and drug overdose, suicide and homicide. Second, there is not a universal consensus on whether or not changing the national MLDA to 21 affected youth alcohol consumption. The last, and most important limitation is that is... -

The past article focused on the characteristics and qualities of a person growing up or their environment that may have made them a teenage drinker.

It shows that today's teenagers have more to negatively involve themselves with during their teenage years than before. -
