I don't know about other libertarians, but my support for lowering the drinking age is based on this reasoning: If you're a legal adult at 18, old enough to fight and die for your country, you're old enough to handle alcohol. Making it illegal hasn't stopped them from drinking.
Still, with a teen vote, I can see the 15 and 16 year-olds voting to lower the drinking age to their level.

If you're a legal adult at 18, old enough to fight and die for your country, you're old enough to handle alcohol. I agree with your reasoning, but think the age is too young. In my perfect world you wouldn't be able to vote, drink, join the military or sign a contract or be considered a legal adult until you were 19.
