This was the SIMILAR, yet different, argument that was used in the early 1970's, during the Vietnam War, lowering the VOTING age from 21 to 18. The argument used, and which won over Congress, was that if you were old enough to die for your country, you should have the right to vote in that person who could be sending you to your death. It worked!!
The difference, however, between the above argument and yours is that no one is sending you to your death by drinking, except perhaps yourself. Sorry, it's been tried before, and lost. Same argument has been tried with Marijuana, and other intoxicants. It just doesn't work, time after time after time.
Besides, you don't need to drink intoxicants. Eighteen year old's "needed" the vote.
