Amethyst Initiative: Reducing The Drinking Age

Students Binge Drinking

In light of the recent drinking age initiative, called the Amethyst Initiative, which involves college presidents from about 100 of the nation’s best-known universities, including Duke, Dartmouth and Ohio State, indicating that lawmakers consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, and hence discouraging dangerous binge drinking on campus, do you agree with this initiative?

Consider this, Duke President Richard Brodhead, said: “The 21-year-old drinking age pushes drinking into hiding, heightening its risks.” There is some truth to that, but is there compelling evidence?
