Petition Raise the drinking age to 21

Raising the drinking age to 21 could reduce consumption amongst young people because it will be harder to buy alcohol. Also, we believe young people are the group most likely to misuse alcohol; e.g. drinking to excess, which could cause accidents, death and health problems.
