I agree that these laws are stupid. I started drinking at 16 and I have no idea what the "drinking age" was at the time but it wouldn't have mattered. There were always plenty of ways for me to get alcohol.

Later in life, I hosted German exchange students and despite them being high school age, they were experienced drinkers and gave me advice on choosing beer! Over there there is no drinking age and they don't seem to have the kind of troubles with alcohol abuse we have over year. They weren't drunkards either. They treated alcoholic beverages with respect.

Apparently in some countries children can drink but only under supervision of an adult.
