I live in Manitoba, Canada, where the legal drinking age has been 18 for years. I can say from personal experience that people of that age (and younger) will drink to excess, whether it's legal or not. The advantage to having a younger age of majority is that at least that drinking will take place in a controlled environment, with security staff and trained bartenders who (at least hypothetically) are required to cut people off if they've drunk too much. Further, it's always baffled me that the United States will entrust people to vote, enter into contracts, and go to war at 18, but not let them have a beer. No offence, but if a person is legally an adult, shouldn't they be allowed to make adult decisions regarding alcohol? I'm not saying that the Canadian method is perfect, but overall it seems to work out alright for us.
