I wouldn't mind if Ontario followed CAMH's recommendation and raised the legal drinking age back to where it used to be: 21.

Sure works great in the U.S... NOT.
I'm from the European family school of parents giving their kids a bit of wine or beer at dinner on occasion, so you don't feel the need to get utterly shitfaced at the first opportunity just to spite them.
But I guess you can't force parents to implement that in their homes, so I'd say 18 is fine for bars not to serve a teen who's alone or with peers. Maybe 14 if out with a parent/guardian who says it's okay.
