I think 21 is fine for drinking. Here in Canada, it's 19 and I personally think that's too young. (I'm 18 by the way). I see way too many idiots drinking because they think it's cool to drink and get hammered until you puke your guts out and pass out on the toilet seat. I had way too many friends (yes, they are underaged to drink) drinking until they literally go into the hospital and get their stomach pumped. 19 is too early to get into trouble like that, especially since it does affect you in the long run. 21 is good because it's a reasonable age for someone to think of the consequences and other stuff like that. I don't mind waiting until I'm 21 to legally drink. I like my alcohol but I'd rather wait and have peace of mind that my friends don't screw themselves up.
