For almost 40 years, most states voluntarily set their minimum drinking age law at 21. ... So much so that, by 1983, 16 states voluntarily raised their drinking age back to 21—a move that brought about an immediate decrease in drinking and driving traffic fatalities incidents. Some states, however, kept a lower drinking age.

If the drinking age is 21, then the laws should be changed for the military. No 18 is responsible enough to handle any pressure at 18, and since they can't, they start earlier and prove to everyone that they are too young to handle responsibility.

If they are raising the drinking age to 21 because of all the people who are under age and are drinking don't they realize people will still find more ways to get around the new law. I don't think raising the drinking age will make any difference in our society.
