I'd be okay with the drinking age at 18. "Kids" are no longer minors at that point and are responsible for everything else in their lives...why not that? However, I won't relate binge drinking to the current age limit. I'll agree that it's just another part of an overindulgent American lifestyle.
However, I do find it a little strange that alcoholism and drunk driving in Europe don't have the negative statistics they do here. Coincidence?
