I'm not sure this statistic tells us much. It'd be more interesting to compare something like teen alcoholism rates vs legal drinking age. For all we know an age requirement may very well lower alcohol abuse rates. Besides, I really don't see a reason not to restrict it - should we just legalize alcohol for all ages? I think not, because what we have right now most likely does not hurt. Same logic for porn.
