If they were to raise the drinking age, then there would be debates about raising the smoking age too.
Edit: I also think it's a bad idea tbh.

Wont make much difference to kids drinking on the street though will it 
They'll just get someone who looks 21 to buy it

It wont work as people will find alcohol a new thing/experiance then and act the same. Only difference is they will be 21 not 18

imo if you raise it to 21 then there will be more younger drinkers doing under-age drinking. The clubs would suffer from this aswell as then no 18-20 would be allowed in
