The drinking age can be lowered. A state can pass it's own regulation which supersedes the federal regulation. However, as an incentive for states to follow the federal law, if a state passes it's own regulation decreasing the drinking age its funding will be withheld by the federal government. Alternatively, the federal regulation can be amended with a new drinking age. The first requires action by your state legislature, the other requires action by the US senate.
Another View: There is NO federally mandatedl drinking age. Each individual state sets its own statutory age limit for alcohol consumption.
