Minimum Legal Drinking Age

Findings

"Minimum Legal Drinking Age." American Medical Association - Physicians, Medical Students & Patients (AMA). Web. 24 Oct. 2011. <http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/physician-resources/public-health/promoting-healthy-lifestyles/alcohol-other-drug-abuse/facts-about-youth-alcohol/minimum-legal-drinking-age.page>.

Summary This article will be helpful when comparing the amount of fatal crashes when the minimum legal drinking age was 18 or now 21. It gives a brief history of when and how many states had lower drinking ages than 21 and why all the states changed the age to 21. At the end, it talks about Europeans and how they have more diseases because of the alcohol consumption compared to the US, but the fatal car crash percentage is lower because they don't get their license till they are older. This site gives a few numbers we could use.
