Alcohol affects your brain negatively and can be detrimental while it is still developing if abused. Generally brains are done developing at age 25 and that's what I think the age should be. Why it's not still illegal is beyond me.
Because people like drinking, most people drink, and most people who drink are responsible about it. So when you make it illegal you create a black market and cartels for it, which are pretty much impossible for the government to shut down. Prices are driven up, the producers are not under any kind of regulation to ensure the products are safe, and rivalries between criminals causes real violence.
If you want to help society, start by attacking the things that drive people to drug and alchohol abuse in the first place, like poor economic equality and avaliablity of treatment for mental illnesses.

Meh, nevermind.
