Lena Ramirez: Raise legal age for alcohol to 25

Re “State lawmakers approve raising smoking age to 21” (Page 1B, March 11): The lawmakers pass the law to raise the smoking age to 21. Why they don’t raise the age to 25 for people who drink alcohol? It’s just as bad for their health as smoking, plus they get in and drive and cause crashes and hurt other people.
