Legal drinking age

This is America not France, UK or any other foreign country the legal drinking age needs to be 25 years of age only for the simple fact being that most kids still attend college and most live at home with mommy and daddy.  I have seen people die from Alcohol poison in the past where they drink to much or they start drinking at at 16 but in secret and they become lazy bum alcoholics I have done research on this and those who drink are more likely to continue when their older so 25 it is for my kids.

I think the legal drinking age should be lowered to at least 18 - right now we have people in our country who are 18 who can legally be charged with a crime, who can vote and choose our countries leaders, who can be drafted into military service and expected to fight and die for this country - but who cannot have a drink after work.  While we're at it, the voting age should be lowered to 16.  When I was 16, I had working papers and a job, but could not vote, yet I still had to pay taxes.  No taxation without representation, I say.
