Alcohol doesn't only impair the use of a motor vehicle, but most machines.
Increasing the driving age means the economy will suffer more. People use cars to get back and forth to work, and if a 17 year old can't get to work because some 16 year olds wants to look cool by holding a beer in his hand there won't be a lot of job opportunities for younger people.
A lot of employers give random drug tests, too, so drinking at an early age will discredit them from future employment.
Smoking sucks though. I'm affected by secondhand on a daily basis, and I can say it's done a number on me for 20 years, more so in the past 7 years. I say it should be banned in public and some residencies as well.
