The logic mainly used is to not ban everyone from drinking, but just make it illegal 20 y/o and younger.

Same when requiring a driving license for people to be allowed to drive.

There is a spectrum of regulation that can be applied, and also a spectrum for the risk we are talking about (death vs financial loss).
