Probably is. I could drink in college. Louisiana changed the age to 21 when I was 20 because of the highway funding issue. Luckily, I could drink while I was 20 because all of the bars were convinced that we would be "grandfathered" in! I think a lot of college students will experiment with alcohol and go overboard...I know I did. Binging, however, was not such a problem when we could drink for the time we stepped foot on campus. Other drugs, like Benzos, weren't abused like they are now when you get just get a little drunk instead.
