21 makes more sense.
Does anyone know if there is a political party that supports this proposal?
Incidentally, I think the age for legal sex ought to be raised also - 16 is far too young for the majority and it wouldn't be all that difficult to ask people to wait until 18, isn't it 18 for homosexuals? (Many will continue to ignore anyway.)
(That could be wrong?)
Thanks
Jo

18, as everyone else commented, if you can fight for your country, also i think being at the age of 21, does not stop anyone 18-20 from drinking, college students get a hold of alcohol all the time and aren't 21, and since they can not sit in a bar at 18-20, unfortunately many get the booze and ride around with their friends drinking it. more 18 to 20 year olds are picked up for DUI than adults over 21 in my area!!

In the home, I see no reason why children should not sample small amounts of alcohol as they are growing uo.
If they see parents & visitors drinking at home & they are deprived, my view is that does more harm & they are more likely to go out & drink at the earliest age possible.
The legal age for drinking in public places should in my view be raised to 21 as excessive alcohol does damage the body & a lot of people do binge drink which is dangerous.
I suppose people need to be educated..

It should stay at 18 with smoking getting raised to 18
I do not understand people being annoyed at being allowed to drink at 5 in your own home with your parents permission, it has been the law for decades and you do not have parents getting 5 year old absolutely drunk. it is better that the parent is allowed to educate their child with drink

It used to be 18. then 21... I think that is some what young still. People still don't know how to be responsible. Who knows the right age...

it should either be 18 or the age that you are considered an adult should be raised to 21. If you are considered an adult you should be able to do everything an adult can do.
