Alcohol with 16?

Everybody knows in Brazil the minimum age is 18. But should it to change for 16?

Many people believe that a teenager of 16 has conscience about what he is doing. That is, he knows what is a crime and yours punishments. The teenagers of 16 has some responsibility and know the diference between right and wrong.

On the other hand, if the minimum age will change for 16, the teenagers (from 16) will be able to drive, to go to adults places and, mainly, to drink. And in Brazil the alcohol is a problem. The minimun age in Brazil is 18, and a lot of teenagers (of 16 and 17) drink, if the minimum age was reduced to 16, the teen of 14 and 15 would drink?

In my opion the minimum age wouldn't be change. Because the teenagers in Brazil has any responsibility with theyselves neither with alcohol.
