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

Yes it should be 21 that will give them more time to mature. Learning to drive at 18 at the same time being allowed to drink in pubs is way too tempting. It would stop a vast majority and make our roads safer. I'd like to hear from some oldies who were around when it was 21 and how it made a difference when it changed to 18.
