The only logical solution is to return the drinking age to 18 ;if a person is to be treated as an adult for all other issues then this restriction is stupid. Or raise the age of adulthood to 21 for everything..an obviously unworkable idea.

If there were no huge demand by college students for these fake ID the operations would shrink.

And then prosecute the ID counterfeiters just as harshly as currency counterfeiters.

Well, I've never agreed with the 21 and over alcohol limit... Being married and a mother at 19yo I found it awfully ironic that I was allowed to care for a child and live independently as an adult in all other capacities - completely responsible for my actions - but not be allowed a single alcoholic beverage. (It was rather strange to not be allowed to toast at my wedding!) I also always think of those in the service and how ironic that whole predicament is.

Alcohol is like any other vice - there will always be those who will abuse it and it really has less to do with age than upbringing, character, and understanding of personal responsibility, IMHO. There are also a lot of cases of those who use fake IDs (especially college-age kids) to get into clubs and such not so much to drink, but for the social atmosphere.

I think your solution sounds pretty fair...
