In my opinion, the legal drinking age should remain at 21 in the United States.
History and statistics often show that minors are not quite responsible enough to know when to say when. When I was young I feel I was in the majority. And I feel the majority of youth was simply to push everything to the limit. Rules, laws, parents, and drinking were all pushed to the limit. I believe only a small percentage of youth actually are mature enough to say no. Legalizing drinking at a younger age would only overflow into more drunk drivers on the roads. Review statistics of youth and drunk driving and just read any blog you come across. Usually the common factor is lack of experience behind the wheel combined with immaturity and recklessness. Those 3 combined are reasons enough to not lower the drinking limit.

Mental maturity can be reached from anywhere between 16 and 28 years of age, depending on the person. Some people may never mature. Teenagers should, however, have the right to experiment. That is why the drinking age should be 16-18 for low alcoholic drinks, and older (21-25) for drinks with high alcoholic content. Health wise, to avoid brain or any other damage resulting from alcohol in later life, the drinking age should be 21, when the body is fully matured and able to cope with alcohol.
