As far as making the drinking age 18 it will not do anything but allow some people drink. A kid can get a hold of alcohol at any age now. 14, 16, 18 it does not matter. if they want to drink they will. it will allow people 18 or older to go to the hospital without fear of consenquences but we will always have a problem no matter what the age limit is. (for example prom, the worst night to drive because of all the drunk teens on the roads)
