It always seemed weird to me to give kids driving privileges before drinking privileges. Intuitively, that seems backwards.

You want to fix drunk driving? Take away the driving part.

21 is a pretty ridiculous age for drinking being "legalized." When I was 17 or 18, I had no desire at all to drink. Nowadays (I'm 20), I do drink sometimes, but I never, ever, ever, ever get behind the wheel of a car, even on the same day as one I've consumed alcohol. Trust me, no one in the world thinks that my drinking habits are a contributing problem to society.
