At age 18 you can legally fight for your country, vote in Elections, marry without parental consent (can have been married for 2 years if your dad agreed), have smoked for 2 years (if you can find anywhere to light up), see Adult films at the cinema and many more "grown up" activities. To legislate against you buying a drink until you're 21 is, in light of the above, nonsense and typical of the wooly-brained ideas our Government dreams up.

I can, sort of, see where they're coming from but the way to crack down on binge drinking etc. is to educate the general public away from the present "alcohol for the sake of it" culture and into a more relaxed attitude to drinking.
