“People have their right to decide about themselves, and what actions they take.”
Liberal Drinking Act of 2019
Rationale
Lowering drinking age and reducing restrictions will promote personal responsibility, boost local economies, and reduce black-market alcohol trade which pose a threat to drinker’s health. By allowing alcohol consumption earlier, its allure would diminish and would lead to long term reduction.
