As much as I feel the nation would benefit from lowering the drinking age, I feel the Greek Community would receive negative PR for such a campaign.
Despite overwhelming attempts to register 18-24 year olds to vote, this age group turns out in underwhelming numbers at the polls. As a result, legislation and lobbying for the benefit of this age group is under-represented.
I understand the desire to lower risk management issues, and I think it would be smart to lower the drinking age (if you can vote at age 18 and buy a pack of cigarettes; why not a beer?), but I feel that if Greeks supported an effort to get America's Youth VOTING it would be seen as a very positive motion.
