If it was legal at 18 I think it would solve a lot of these issues.

I absolutely agree with you.
I hate the idea of 'pregaming.' Drinking before an event because students think they will be unable to drink at the event. So they try to guess how much to drink before they leave. They usually overestimate. Then if alcohol is present they continue to drink to excess.
I also hate the mystery punches common at some schools. What the heck is in there?
Allowing 18 yos to consume bottles or cans of beer allows them to monitor their intake more closely and become responsible drinkers.
