The whole reason it’s 21 is MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and it’s tied to federal highway funding. So, to amend it, along with lowering the drinking age, they should raise the driving age to 18. They have the highest accident and fatality rate already. Might as well allow legal adults to do legal adult things, like drinking, or driving in a way that could kill somebody.
