I think the drinking age could be lowered if the punishment for a DUI offense weren't a slap on the wrist. In a few European countries (where the legal age is around 18), the threshold for a legal blood-alcohol level is as little as a fourth of what it is many US states. This, combined with harsher punishments, would probably make a younger drinking age reasonable in the US.
