A really stupid reason, but isn't the drinking age 21 to cut down on illegal, under-age drinking? The theory being that 18 year old's younger peers are more easily able to get alcohol when the drinking age is 18 versus 21.
So, the drinking age is 21 to keep 14-17 year olds from drinking.
My own personal experience was, when the drinking age was 18, I could easily get into a bar and drink when I was 16 or 17 and I thought I looked about 12.
