I see where this is going with the argument that junk food and smoking cause more deaths than drinking. Filling in the other buttons with scenarios in case someone clicks will give it a more developed feel and open up some more possibilities. The big issue I have is I think that the argument is a bit specious, though, because food and tobacco cause damage over time. The concern with youth an alcohol is more bad behavior in the moment that is dangerous, and potentially dangerous to others. I feel like something about decision making, comparisons with other countries will lower drinking ages, etc. might work better. Or putting it in terms of rights and rewards--voting, military, etc. Eager to see how this develops further.
