Drinking age in the US: should it be lowered?

I'm on a roll today. How about the drinking age in the US? My husband and I had a discussion about this today- he noted that the minimum age of enlistment for the military, the voting age, and the age in most states for purchasing of cigarettes is 18, and purchasing alcohol is 21. Should the drinking age also be 18?
