having the age of attrition set at 21, doesn't help us make socially responsible adults. People (little people included) should be taught to drink responsibly; I think sailor hit it right on the head.
You find that in many European countries people will have a social adult beverage during lunch and perhaps a couple after dinner. Very rarely do you see people binging and getting slobberingly drunk. In American drinking during lunch is taboo, because everyone believe that you will just keep sliding down the slope.
