Question
Should the drinking age be 18?
Position3 of 4

This position holds that there is no single ideal drinking age, because it depends on the jurisdiction. It argues that different cultures, religions and societies hold widely divergent views on alcohol, so the appropriate minimum age is best set locally rather than by a universal standard.
