18 is just a number, but the number had to be drawn somewhere. It isn't just a random choice, as many things happen at 18 that change everything (although some states make kids wait until 21 to drink, they can go to war and die at 18).
We don't get to choose the rules, the rules are there. The moral question isn't "is 18 the right number" but "will I respect the law or try to end run it?"
