Americans are split on whether the drinking age should remain 21 or be lowered — few think it should be raised
What do you think the minimum age requirement for drinking alcohol should be? (%)
Note: Respondents were first asked "Do you think there should be a minimum age requirement for drinking alcohol?" People who said no were not asked the followup question and are shown here under "Younger than 21 or no minimum." People who said yes were given options of Younger than 10, 10–13, 14–15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22–24, and 25 or older.
