I'm not sure that enough 18-20 year olds have enough cash to be hitting the bars and clubs and places to eat.
Now many of them are paying a big brother or sister to buy a bottle so the increase in spending because of an age change might not make much difference.
Overall, I agree age 18 makes more sense. It was around that until 1984 and didn't make much difference. Remember, there was also a time when all national speed limits were 55mph. Raising it back up didn't drastically increase death totals.
Its strange that at age 18 they can vote for the President (thereby influencing live and death daily), and be in the army and have a gun and decide when to shoot and not shoot, but they can't decide when to drink or not drink / drive or not drive?
