We have drinking laws, some provinces you have to be 18, others you have to be 19(the justification for the provinces where the age is 19 is they want to try to keep it away from school aged children period)
Having the age set at 21 is stupid, when you are considered an adult in all other respects at 18. But you can't really use the old enough to be sent to war excuse, since people who are in the military actually can drink on base if they are over 18.
On the seatbelt thing you could injure people other than just those beside you, if the car rolled you could go all over the vehicle, if your in the back seat in a normal collision you could fly forward and hurt those in the front. So it really doesn't matter where int eh car you are.
