Increase legal drinking age to 21 in the UK.

What the petition asks
I believe we should increase the legal drinking age to 21, as I believe 18 is too young to be going to nightclubs and causing mayhem.
I believe students should also be focusing on studies rather than getting drunk and making a fool of themselves and trashing our cities at night. They’re supposed to be saving what little money they get from their loans to live.
This could cut down fights at clubs. This also prevents any underaged children borrowing or using fake IDs to get into clubs because let’s be honest no 15-year olds can look 21.
