There is a discussion sweeping college campuses across the nation concerning lowering the legal age for alcoholic consumption to 18 from the present 21. Some university presidents are endorsing it, others oppose it, but most are as yet undecided. I can best identify with the undecided category.
College kids are consuming alcohol anyway. Would decriminalizing their behavior make it more controllable? It might bring it out in the open a little more which would place it under the light of public scrutiny. I don't know.
There are plenty of other problems on our college campuses. Is alcohol a contributing factor to them? In many cases I suspect it is. I refer to a previous post.
If you are so inclined, weigh in on the debate. What are your thoughts?
