Good column. It just reinforces what I have always felt, that raising the drinking age just increases problems. I actually had a discussion about this with several veteran (15-20 years experience )university Greek advisors at the MGCA conference a few months ago. I asked them if they had more alcohol related problems (binge drinking, rape, violence, vandalism, etc. ) before or after the 21 drinking age went into effect. The 6 advisors at the table all agreed that the alcohol problems on campuses skyrocketed after 21 went into effect.
It's just like the fact that prohibition actually caused alcohol consumption to skyrocket when it was in effect!
