Option 1 : Only argument I is strong  

Argument I is a good argument because one must be at a responsible age to drink. People at the age of 18 are more reckless than responsible. People who are 21 are more mature than 18 years old. Argument II is a weak argument as people are not responsible enough at the age of 16 to consume alcohol.
