This article does a good job at pointing out the many flaws with having the minimum drinking age at 21. He points out a few good arguments against the policy such as the fact that young men can go to war at 18 but cannot drink, the ineffectiveness of the minimum drinking age law, and the healthier attitudes European adolescents have towards alcohol use then those adolescents in the US.
This article is one that gives a number of sound arguments for lowering the drinking age minimum. This source can be useful when making a case against the zero tolerance policy for people under the age of 21.
The authors at Choose Responsibility, a nonprofit organization founded in 2007, discuss in this viewpoint and several issues concerning the debate over lowering the legal drinking age from twenty-one to eighteen. They seem to have some good experience with this topic. Solid source for sure.
