University Presidents Encourage Drinking Age Debate

Posted on August 19, 2008 by Kate Bladow

MSNBC features a story about university presidents at some well-known schools who are encouraging the nation to re-examine establishing a legal drinking age of 21. Known as the Amethyst Initiative, this group is concerned about the level of binge drinking on college campuses and believe that setting the age at 21 hasn't worked.

As I've been thinking about this issue tonight, I've been wondering about what legal aid should contribute to this debate. What effect would lowering the drinking age have on our client communities? Would it have any at all? I'd love to hear your thoughts, which you can leave in the comments. - K
