I think you should learn how to drink before you learn how to drive....say lower the drinking age to 17 and the driving age to 18 or 19. For one, people would understand how alcohol impairs judgment and lowers reflexes before ever trying to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, and more importantly, they will be going to bars either with someone older who can drive (and theoretically more responsible), walking to the bar, or drinking at a party or at home and STAYING the night there.

this also gives the parents more control, because they can limit how much their teenagers drink while they still live at home, whereas at 21, they have moved out and have no one to look over their shoulder and make sure they aren't doing something stupid
