"Ignorance is a plague."
Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

The idea behind it is that you're brain isn't fully developed until you're 21, and drinking before that stunts mental developement.
However, throughout history and in places with low drinking ages, people more exposed and knowledgeable about alchohol are less likely to binge or become alcholics when they get older. That seems to work fine for Europe and Canada. It's not just Europe and Canada, in most of the world, the drinking age is 18. The only countries where it is 21 are:
USA
Indonesia
Kazakhstan
and a few tiny islands
