Should the age be raised from 18 to 21 in Australia to combat underage drinking?

Does anyone really think this will help with under-age drinking or make it worse?

I too think the legal age should be increased but in the same way that kids under 18 get their hands on grog and drugs, so too will the under 21's. It's just going to give them 3 extra years to revel in the rebellion that dictates their social lives. I think it's the fact that it is illegal until they are 18 that makes it that bit more appealing to do it before that. I've seen it time and time again. Before they are 18 kids try and get their hands on it as much as possible but them once they hit 18, they've had their fill and are over it.
