Colleges Want to Lower Legal Drinking Age?
In today’s headlines Educators Want to Lower the Drinking Age in the Washington Post…
Scores of college presidents, including the head of Maryland’s public university system and the president of Johns Hopkins University, have an unexpected request for legislators: Please, lower the drinking age.
The stated logic is that by lowering the drinking age it will prevent “binge drinking”.
The unstated logic here is that the campus pubs will make a boatload of more revenue selling alcohol to 18 year old college students.
Come on! Are these college presidents serious?
Any states and colleges that allow drinking under 21 in violation of federal law should lose federal education funding and lose their non profit status. In addition according to the Baltimore Sun, an article suggests even losing federal highway funding since lowing the drinking age would definitely increase the number of drunk driving accidents and fatalities on the road.
The unstated logic here is that the campus pubs will make a boatload of more revenue selling alcohol to 18 year old college students.
These “educators” that advocate lowering the drinking age to 18 should lose their post as Administrators. The last time I checked, being an executive administrator at an institution of “Higher Education” in our land included upholding and advocating the laws of the land and also policies that are in place for the general welfare and well being of society in general.
Next thing you know these “educators” will be saying that having “Bud Light Vending Machines” at the local High School will prevent binge drinking, because based on the logic of the “Amethyst Initiative” (the movement to lower the drinking age to 18) the next thing that will happen is that 16 and 17 year olds will be binging.
Say NO to the Amethyst Initiative and do not support any educator, institution or politician that supports it.
Revenue gain on legally selling alcohol to 18, 19 and 20 year olds is not worth the added drunk drivers on the road.
What’s worse than a drunk 21 to 25 year old?
A drunk 18 and 19 year old.
Get the picture?
Most of us reading this were 18 years old once.
What’s worse than a drunk behind the wheel?
More drunks behind the wheel.
Say NO to the Amethyst Initiative and don’t buy into or fall for their faulty logic.
