I think it would be beneficial to show a program on how to drink responsibly. Some people's major exposure to alcohol comes during college, combined with the lack of structure most deal with living in dorms (or anything out of their parent's direct tutelage), they really don't have any idea on HOW to drink. I'm not saying that we should condone underage drinking or give people the OK, but if people choose to drink, whether they are of the legal age or not, they should be made aware on how to do it responsibly. I agree with what other posters have said concerning doing programs that aren't preachy - "you shouldn't do this 'cause I said so!" - but rather concentrate on real life anecdotes, speakers with personal experiences, and the consequences of drinking irresponsibly.
