Drinking Age Raised to 25? Hoax News Claims State Limit Raised From 21 [VIDEO]
There is a report that claims the age requirement in order to purchase and drink alcohol will be raised from 21 to 25, which caused many people to go on social media to voice their opinions.
"As of August 2, 2014 legal age to drink wil be 25. There has been controversy whether 21 is too young to make decisions. A lot of citizens state at that age they are not mentally responsible to drink. So the legislation at the White House has come to an agreement to have legal age changed to 25," according to summary released by Nipsys News last month.
As a result, several people expressed their views regarding the proposed age hike on Twitter and other forms of social media.
"The government better not change the drinking age to 25," wrote one Twitter user.
Another Twitter user also agreed that the age requirement should not be increased at all, "My sister said she read an article where the drinking age was being changed to 25 this month. Bout died brb."
However, not everybody is upset with the alleged age requirement increased by four years.
"Im glad they changed the legal drinking age to 25. Its about time," wrote another person on the popular social media website.
The Nipsys News website also issued the following message regarding the controversy they created, "Don't worry, you are not the only one. [9 million people already fell for this. If you liked the joke, you can share it and trick your friends. Also you can create a joke of your own clicking the button below!"
So far, there is no country in the world has an age limit above the age of 25, according to a report by The Epoch Times.
