High school graduation age is the same in the States too (17-18).
College and drinking go hand in hand barriers, so at least you get to still have some fun.
Seriously though, I really think that the drinking age should be 18.
Does anyone know if it's still 18 (or 19) in certain states? I recall Idaho having a younger drinking age. Don't know if they changed the law there or not though.

I think the drinking age is nation-wide. When I left Buffalo (2 years ago), you could smoke in bars, but NOT in restaurants in Erie County, which is where The Continental is. In Niagara County (Niagara Falls, Lockport, etc), you could still smoke in restaurants.
Yet there is the marvel of the Denny's Restaurants in the Buffalo area - they actually had a smoking room - completely glassed off from the rest of the patrons, with an air vaccuum type thing so when the doors opened to that room, smoke didn't blow out into main dining. Too funny.

Being asked "smoking or non?" freaks me out at restaurants. I always think "you guys still have that here?"
Smoking while drinking - acceptable (I've been known to)
Smoking while eating - gross.
