The subject is not related to personal finance and I think 21 is a perfectly reasonable age, but what does everyone else think? Should the drinking age be lowered? Should it even exist???

establishing a 'drinking age' is an exercise in futility. We've had the age(in NY) at 21 thens 18. The number of drinking incidents and accidents has not be affected by age legislation.
Drinking, or not ,is a personal decision and the PERSON is more important than the AGE.
