There is no "good side". Research has shown that the younger you are when you begin to drink the more apt you are to have a drinking problem. Drinking also causes brain, liver, and kidney damage. Most accidents that involve people under 21 usually happen when drinking is involved. The Death Rate for teens and DUI (driving under influence) is very high.
No, there is a good side, physical health is not the only type of health. The good side is that you are more likely to be socialable, may be more experienced with the opposite sex, be less likely to get drunk from alcohol, which is a social (if not a health) plus. You are more likely to be more knowledgable of current music. 'Bottling' up stress without taking alcohol could cause problems later on. The limit of 21 may be considered patronising-why does the state limit the habits of people at voting age?
