that law is because 16&17 year olds are more likely to drink alot or drive. 18&up,r more responible.its not because it hurts them more.

The legal age can vary, in the UK it is 18, in other places it can 21 etc.
Underage drinking can seriously effect the natural growth of the body. Girls tend to be affected more easily than boys due to differing body shapes, less water and different metabolisms. Also, the smaller the body the less alcohol will be needed to have an adverse effect.
Alcohol is a drug and should be treated with caution. Underage drinking is on the increase in the UK, quite possibly in other countries as well.
Apart from the damaging effects on the body, it's more likely to affect a young persons judgement more quickly than an adult, (although they can do stupid things too).
I've given you a couple of websites that give you more information on the damaging effects on the body and some popular myths about drinking.

actually the legal drinking age is 21. i mean i guess it depends on where you live. but in the US its 21 and im guessing most of the ppl on this site are from the US. anyways, drinking kills brain cells and its bad for your whole body. so when youre 21 youre supposed to be more responsible and make the right choices. its okay to drink a little but when youre younger youre more likely to ignore the consequences and drink a lot.

well the legal drinking age is actually 21. and they have that law because you're supossed to be more responsible at that age.

I'll answer this in 2 parts:
A) The legal drinking age is 18 because that is the socially accepted age where it is deemed you are responsible enough to be accountable for your own actions. Therefore, certain things are no longer illegal.
B) If you are under 18 and drink, it does to your body parts what it does to someone over 18. There is no discernible difference. You know, unless you are like 5. Then it's probably not a good idea.
