Why are adults from 18 to 21 years of age treated as second-class citizens in this one respect, when in so many others they are expected and required to live up to society's responsibilities?
Why does so much of the discussion of underage drinking focus on college students? Do adults cease to exist if they don't go to college? Why do college students have more problems with alcohol excess (because studies show they do)?
Why are there no solid statistics on underage drinking? Why can't you find out how much of the total "underage drinking" is done by 18 to 20 year old adults? And why aren't booze industry groups doing their own surveys and polls on the issue?
Why is there virtually no effort to teach adults of any age to drink responsibly?
Don't be afraid to ask these questions. Don't be afraid to discuss this issue. And of course, don't be afraid to disagree with me, with MADD, or with the Supreme Court. I'm truly convinced that the 21 LDA is a mistake with potentially lethal consequences.
