In
1984
,
the
United
States
adopted
a
new
law
outlawing
the
purchase
of
alcochol
by
people
under
the
age
of
21
.
Since
then
,
road
deaths
due
to
drink
driving
have
declined
.
However
,
opponents
of
the
law
claim
that
this
improvement
be
due
to
the
higher
drinking
age
,
but
rather
to
better
roads
and
safer
car
design
.
They
point
out
that
young
people
are
drinking
more
,
not
less
-
but
because
of
the
law
,
they
drink
in
private
,
often
without
adult
supervision
.
They
say
that
the
increase
in
excessive
drinking
also
be
because
forbidden
things
tend
to
be
more
attractive
.
What´s
definite
is
that
the
law
is
tough
to
enforce
.
Using
all
sorts
od
methods
,
under
-
21s
purchase
alcohol
easily
.
Readers

that

goverment
repeal

law
