Petition Raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21

More details

Raising the drinking age to 21 will reduce consumption amongst young people because it will be harder for them to purchase alcohol. Also, young people are the most likely group to misuse alcohol; e.g. drinking to excess, which causes accidents, death and health problems.
