I believe the other province with a drinking age of 18 is either Alberta or Manitoba (or both).
In Canada I believe the drinking age should be dropped to 18 in all provinces. It seems so ridiculous (sp?) to go to university were 90% of the students are legal drinking age and the 18 year olds have to wait 6 months to a year. It's not like you suddenly wake up one morning at the age of 19 and feel 10 times more mature and responsible than you did at the age of 18.
Growing up in a British household I had small glasses of beer, wine and sherry at the young age of 10 or 11. And at the age of 14 when I went to England where I was of legal age to go into pubs and order drinks and have them with my parents...
I was looking for stats on the web regarding drinking patterns in Canada and the USA, but haven't really found anything.
