NO- the drinking age is 21 for a reason

With all the research out there about the brain development not being complete until mid to late 20's, it is wise to keep the drinking age at 21.  The two issues of being in the service at 18 and drinking at 21 are just that- two totally separate issues.  The discussion has a ton of research supporting the need to stay at 21- for the health and welfare of our youth.  End of discussion.
