The drinking age
should be raised to 21 years old because people are more responsible when they are 21. People have finished school and want to focus on their career. If people are drinking while they are doing exams, then they'll get distracted and won't do as well as they should. Underage drinking will start at a older age, this is beneficial because young adults are more mentally vulnerable to the effects of alcohol then those that are older. Increasing the average age of underage drinking will decrease the amount of people suffering from mental issues due to alcohol at a young age.
