= Should the Drinking Age Be Changed to Eighteen? =

In some other countries the legal drinking age is 18, some even 16. Fatality percentages have dropped in Canada due to the legal age that allows individuals to participate in adult like recreational activities. If our young Americans are able to go fight in our wars, what else should they be allowed to do at the age of 18?
