Madison: Drinking age too high - Students don't respect law

"Alcohol education that mandates abstinence as the only legal option has not resulted in significant constructive behavioral change among our students," the statement reads. "Adults under 21 are deemed capable of voting, signing contracts, serving on juries and enlisting in the military, but are told they are not mature enough to have a beer. By choosing to use fake IDs, students make ethical compromises that erode respect for the law."

______________

Yeah, that's right. Lower the drinking age because the students don't respect the law. That's that answer.

I agree with the statement above about the capability issue. So let's solve this problem. Raise it ALL to 21. There. Settled.
