Trust me, it's not.
Australia, the UK, and pretty much everywhere in the world except the USA manages to function perfectly well with a drinking age of 18 (or lower, in some places). When my friends and I were underage, most of us got our booze off of our parents, anyway.
Being mature and adult enough in the eyes of the law to to vote, fight in wars, get married, sign contracts, inherit estate, drive, smoke, live out of home and make medical decisions at 18... but not to drink? That makes no freaking sense.
