Maybe, but that's irrelevant. Why not raise it to 30? Save more lives. Outlaw alcohol. Save more lives. This whole "but it saves XXX lives" is ridiculous.
I said it may be beside the point. But the point of raising the question is that if there was a decrease in alcohol-related deaths, then that is an argument in favor of raising the drinking age whether you agree with it or not.

I don't deny there are arguments. There can be an argument for anything. It doesn't mean it's logical.

My main argument is that there should be an established age of majority. It doesn't make sense to say that you are an adult for this purpose, but not for this purpose.

I don't have a problem with a 21 drinking age, but the voting age, military enlistment age, etc., should be raised as well.
