The Drinking Age Lowered to 16

I strongly believe the legal drinking age should be lowered to 16 because most teens of this generation display remarkable adult behavior toward their time management and how they organize their lives. Teens, by the age of 16, have already had 2 years of potential work experience behind them and can fully show adult responsibility by this time. Teens also display the ability to balance work and school together. These time management skills that these young adults show resembles that of a full grown adult, and by showing this, the young adults should be given the same privileges and responsibilities that grown adults are handed. As I constantly see full grown men and women abusing their freedom and not showing responsibility, it makes me question why these soon-to-be adults, who are showing miles more responsibility than these degenerate adults, shouldn't be receiving these freedoms they have worked and sacrificed so hard to be entitled.
