I dont think a 1 year increase is going to magically solve all of these problems. If they think it will then they should probably look at all the fights the cops have come to break up and determine out of all of them how many people involved were 18.

I would wager its a remarkably small number compared to the number of people who are older than 18. 18 year olds are not evil violent drunks just because they're 18. They'll just start drunken fights when they're 19.

You have simply deferred the problem rather than solving it.
