The 21-year-old drinking age is really not necessary. People, especially teenagers 18-21 years old are going to do what they want, when they want, usually without considering the consequences. Why must there be a certain age set for everything? Who determines when the exact time in a person's life to drive, view R-rated movies, smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol is? Why can't a person decide this on their own? If a person is "legally" considered an adult at the age of 18, then a person should "legally" be able to buy, sell, rent, or do whatever they feel they need to do at that age, too! .
First of all, the levels of age legalization in the United States are crazy. Once you turn 18 you are officially considered an "adult". An adult is defined as "a fully developed and mature, grown-up person". However, even though you are considered "grown-up", you are still restricted in many ways. You still cannot buy tobacco products. You still cannot buy alcohol. You still cannot rent a car. Usually, you cannot even sign a lease on a car or apartment until you are 19 or over. Most clubs have even upped the age to get in to 19-21. The only thing you can really do to change this, though, is own fake identification. I, personally, know many adults, ages 18-20, that have fake ids and use them in order to get away with illegal purchases. Why should adults have to stoop to such an immature level when they are supposed to be mature?.
Secondly, people will do what they want to do when they want to do it. Usually, the bad consequences aren't even considered. Many "teenage-adults" smoke, drink, and get into clubs no matter how young they are. This is another instance where fake ids come in. They may even have older friends to buy things for them or "hook them up". Why should such a "mature, grown-up" person have to do such a thing? If you are really an adult at age 18, you shouldn't have to sneak around and be afraid to get caught doing something.
