Do you think the legal drinking age in the U.S. should be 18, given the fact that we are considered adults and are legally responsible for our actions at 18 years of age?

Why is it that in the U.S. a person is allowed to do pretty much anything, including going to the military and potentially killing somebody, at age 18, but they can’t drink legally until they are 21? If we are considered adults at 18 years old, why is alcohol the exception?
