Lesson 7

The audience for my essay is younger and older adults, alcoholic abusers and dependents. Thesis: The drinking age should be increased to 25 older adults are more likely to contemplate their actions of drinking more than young adults. Older adults reflect the consequences of drinking family, job, and career. Women have to contemplate drinking abusively more than men.

My claims made my thesis stronger; my first claim the drinking age should be increased to 25, older adults are more likely to contemplate their actions more than young adults. My support for this claim is when people are older they have more life experiences and better priorities.Someyoung adults still act on impulse and peer pressure and acceptance. My second claim older adults reflect the consequences of drinking family, job, and career. My support for this claim is older adults are more willing to seek help and keep what is more meaningful and valuable in their life’s. And if the drinking age was increased their will be less drunk driving accidents. My third claim Women have to contemplate drinking abusively more than men. My support for this claim is women have a biological clock that is limited abusing alcohol can prevent pregnancy or cause a baby to suffer deformity or brain problems. Alcohol makes women’s body more prone to various kinds of cancer such as breast, colon, and liver.

All of my sources were reliable the websites I used for my essay out of all of my sources I feel as though the cdc Centers for Diseases Control Prevent website was the most helpful. The website provides information about alcohol and drugs, diseases, environmental issues, workplace hazards, and disaster preparations. The website provided numerous amounts of ways to improve people and their life’s. So the CDC website helped me the most the other websites were mainly factual statics websites.
