Is the drinking age in the US too high? Most places around world have a lower drinking age of 18 or don't enforce a drinking law at all. If the age was dropped would it reduce some of the novelty that goes along with underage drinking? It might also allow people to learn how to drink more responsibly and safely and reduce the amount of alcohol poisoning and accidents that occur when kids go off to college and are on their own for the first time.
One interesting thought: 18 year old kids can go off to the far corners of the globe with a gun in hand and come face to face with with enemy armies, but when they return home they can't sip on a beer.
