Lowering the drinking age to 18 isn't a solution. Except for the fact that bars charge a lot more for their booze,

Before, I would always go to house parties or drink at my own house. Now, I frequently go to bars, where there is much more control to the drinking: bouncers, police nearby, bartenders to cut you off, etc. At house parties, there are none of these factors in place, so it is much more likely kids can get way too drunk, get rowdy and get in fights. People chunging bottles of tequila is always bad, and this just can't happen at bars. Now I'm not stupid; this will obviously continue to happen, however, if these kids were aloud to go to the bars, they would party at their own places much less often, making the drinking scene generally more safe.
