I shouldn’t have to write this out but...
It’s a sliding scale. Not an on and off switch. “Why allow drinking at all?!” Society has deemed that people at 21 can handle it. The longer you wait the better so it’s not like there’s a detriment.
Do you remember the person you were at 21 vs 18?
But sure, if you think the drinking age should be 30 go ahead and call your congressperson.
