Hopefully this helps you get started:
The minimum drinking age is 21, and I believe that it should stay that way. This helps prevent motor vehicle crashes, it is reported that states that increased the legal drinking age to 21 saw a 16% median decline in these types of accidents. In the U.S. each year drinking too much has contributed to more than 4,300 deaths from people who were below the age of 21. In 2010, there were about 189,000 emergency department visits by people under age 21 for injuries and other conditions that were linked to alcohol. All of these facts show that underage drinking causes a problem, so the legal drinking age should stay the same.
