    absolutely. it seems that 18 is just too immature and irresponsible enough. in most cases, they drink and get drunk, then drive and get an accident that puts others' lives in danger. 21 is a good age. thye ususlly know better what is right and what is wrong, and thus are more mature and responsible, in general.

    It used to be 21 . when I turned 19 is when the age dropped to 18 . but I didn't buy a lot of alcohol until I was 20 anyways.

    As far as the guys in the military at 18 they have done a lot of growing up quickly and should be allowed to drink at lets say 19 (after boot camp and in for awhile to stabilize)

    Isn't is at 21 already? Here at California it is :)

    But I think 21 is very reasonable for the drinking age. The older the better cause most 21 year olds are more mature than 18 year olds...

    Sure, as long as the age to join the military also goes up to 21.

    They're either adults at 18, or they're not.

    Uh, it already is 21 in most of America I've seen.
