As I said via IRC, your draft was not appropriate for Wikipedia because it advocvated for an opinion instead of neutrally summarizing what reliable sources have to say about the subject; I have declined it. I also reverted your edits to our legal drinking age article because they didn't cite any sources and were probably not meant for the Africa section anyway. In fact I doubt they were factually correct; most of Europe, for example, has a lower legal drinking age than the US, and I don't think Europe suffers from inordinate amounts of high blood pressure, depression, cancer, cardivascular disease and nerve damage compared to the US. If you had some socioliogical or medical papers that discussed the effects of changes to the legal drinking age, summarizing such sources might make an interesting addition to the article, but your personal opinion is not acceptable.
