Report on Teenagers’ request on lowering the legal drinking age to sixteen years (Sample)
Introduction
The Legislative Council of the HKSAR government has just proposed the new regulations on lowering the legal drinking age to 16 years old, with the growing requests from the teenagers aged below 18, who claim the “definition of maturity” in the current modern society is now changed. The current, legal drinking age in Hong Kong, as well as for most of the rest of the world is 18. Many people consider this unrealistic. However, unconditionally lowering such age would put our own children at high risk on such new legal platform. Problems arisen from passing such regulation unconditionally, possible solutions and recommendations would be discussed in the report.

They have not yet completed the physical maturing process which is vital to the human development. The intake of heavy alcohol under these conditions can cause lifelong deficits. It has been scientifically proven that heavy alcohol dulls anyone’s ability to make a thoughtful decision. Furthermore, alcohol can be a drug that works directly on the central nervous system. It affects mood
