I know, I know - let's raise the "drinking age" to 60! That'll show 'em. Better yet, let the modern era Puritains get their prohibition on (exept for their own bottles of plonk)...
That worked out well.
Lower the age back to 18. Remove the "mystery" and you'll "solve" the problem.

I think you're right. Once I turned 21 I stopped drinking. The "fun" and "thrill" of it was gone.
