<p>I’m only weighing in because I helped my hs junior research a paper on lowering the drinking age this year. From an equity standpoint, for an 18-year-old to be legal in every respect except being able to buy/drink alcohol is absurd and indefensible. From a public safety standpoint, why stop at 21? Why not 22? Or go back to prohibition? Surely making alcohol illegal for all ages would decrease drunk driving.</p>
