   100% if you come live in Alberta, Canada. 😀
   Is it really worth it though?
   You can drink, but you have to be in Alberta! lol.
   That’s just coming from a British Columbian however!

   Well in the year I turned 18, born in 1959, they turned it to 18 in Michigan and the key reason was the draft i think, the argument was
   if the gov can draft you to Vietnam and you could fight for your country and maybe lose your life, so I believe that is why it was changed
   but there was so many crashes and deaths from the 18 year old drinking and driving and ER visits with ETOH poisoning that they raised it back to 21,
   I think it will never happen again
   but i could be wrong

   I don’t think it will happen. I am in Ontario Canada, our drinking age is 19 and there are a lot of people that would like it raised to 21. Our government is actually considering the raise. I really can’t see any responsible government lowering the drinking age. Sorry.
