I think that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. I agree with 33girl about the discriminatory nature of a drinking age of 21.
Alcohol education should realistically address the situations that students will face. They should learn the signs of alcohol poisoning. Students should be encouraged to call for medical assistance without the fear of punishment if a friend gets extremely drunk or overdoses. I really think that ignorance about the symptoms of alcohol poisoning and fear of punishment were contributing factors in the deaths of these students and could contribute to even more deaths.
