Amethyst Initiative
The Amethyst Initiative is a movement coordinated by a number of prominent university presidents to have the legal drinking age lowered from 21 to 18.
College presidents seek to legalize 18-year-old drinkers
Lowering the legal drinking age to 18 would discourage binge drinking, argue a group of college presidents from major colleges and universities.
(Amethyst Initiative) signers think the current law isn’t working, citing a “culture of dangerous, clandestine binge-drinking,” and noting that while adults under 21 can vote and enlist in the military, they “are told they are not mature enough to have a beer.” Furthermore, “by choosing to use fake IDs, students make ethical compromises that erode respect for the law.”
Drinking is going to be a problem on college campuses whether the drinking age is 18 or 21. But it might be easier to promote sensible drinking with a sensible drinking age.
