One of the big arguments against the 18 y/o drinking age was that, just as 21 y/o's buy for their peers who are 19-20 in college, the 18 year olds are still in high school and then they are buying for the 15-17 year olds. They said that upping it to 21 would get it out of the highschools. I don't know where I stand on the issue or what the answer is...
I see our biggest risk as binge drinking or drinking and driving. Using the law is a good argument "You can't, it's against the law", but our risk would still be there even if the drinking age was 18 because there would still be bringe drinking leading to death and drunk driving.
