Rejected petition raise the legal drinking age to 21

More details

I feel that the legal age to be able to buy alcohol should be raised to 21, as it is in the states! this would help towards solving many social and health problems that we as a country are currently experiencing!
including anti-social behavour, the drain fri/sat night binge drinking has on our emergency services and teenage alcoholism!
