what age is appropriate, it depends on maturity

HI
I live in Australia and our drinking age is 18 and the amount of times I hear fromfriends and on the news about the teenage drinking, its a problem with the driving age and drinking ,theamount of times you hear about some one dieing or badly hurt in a car crash then you hear that drinking played a major part in it. These days it seems that you cant have fun without drinking its a shame. please dont change the age as at 18 most teenagers cant handle it. it almost seems cool to get drunk. I hear all the time about how they brag about getting drunk that is. i am australian :) aswell.
i had my first own drink given to me by my parent when i was a young teen, straight vodka can make kids go funny.
i have never been much of a drinker, i stop when i feel abit sick..but
i do smoke, not cigerettes. and i enjoy occasional harsher things.
as i do earn much, i dont spend to much on my entertainment... playing computer costs more 4 me.
people can be alcholic and finds it a normal everyday life to have a beer by the steering wheel.
australia does have problems with young irrasponsible drivers, aswell as kids as young as 8-10 sniffing petrol.
we learn from our experiences, and what goes around comes around. my
problem started because of family issues...it had nothing to do with
legal ages.
i think drinking is fine if u do it in moderation. have good influences around you.
are responsible enough to know when enough is enough. and consider others.
humans are good at routine, like cows.
if we are happy with our work, then we don't need to change. but can always improve?
