I'm not sure if saying that the true reason people want to drink alcohol is "you want to get drunk and get loose without worrying about getting in trouble...." That's painting things with a rather large brush, don't you think?
I think that an 18 year old cut-off would make sense. This is around the age when most people either go to college, move out of their parents homes and go to work, or go into the armed services. This is also a time when one could learn how to use alcohol responsibly.
Just wanted to throw this question out though: If the drinking age were to be lowered, what would be the best way of doing it? Should it be a sliding scale, where at first 18 year olds are able to buy products with lower alcohol contents (like it was for DeltAlum), and then build it up to all alcohol products over a period of time? Or should it be just beer and lower alcohol products? All at once?
