Kids are already getting alcohol with fake id's or some other way in high school, it may as well be 18. We need to quit babying everything. They're going to get beer whether they are old enough or not. It's so easy to find someone to buy it. We never had a problem, and there was always the known "Stop and Rob" that would sell us beer.
My family has always been very open with alcohol around me. At certain times I was able to have one beer while growing up. And I was always give a few sips if I asked as a youngster. In high school my dad would allow my friends and I to have 2 beers while out on the lake. This was always approved by the parents first. And my friends families were they same as mine, open about alcohol.
The more we try to shelter kids and say no, the more they're going to fight. The kids who got the most fucked up in high school and college were the ones whose parents were extremely strict and typically did not drink.
