Lower the Legal Drinking Age from 21 to 18?

Last night, CBS's 60 Minutes aired a story about the debate about lowering the legal drinking age. One of the main reasons, supporters say, is to reduce the number of non-traffic deaths due to alcohol poisoning/injury. They belive underage drinkers are less likely to call for help because they don't want to get in trouble for drinking underage. I thought it was a really good news story and covered both sides equally. If you've got 15 minutes, click on the link below and watch the video from February 22.
