Example 1 Argument+reason+example+counterargument
I believe that changing the United States Federal Uniform Drinking Ague Act, by lowering the legal drinking age from 21 to 18, will lead to an increase in deaths on the road caused by drunk driving. This is because more young drivers will be tempted to drive while under the influence of alcohol. Many young people in US states travel to social gatherings by car rather than public transport. If 18-year-olds were legally able to drink alcohol in bars and clubs, more drunk teens would find themselves behind the wheel at the end of a night out.
