I attended during the period when the drinking age was being incrementally increased (mid-eighties)and witnessed the effect of this change. Fewer students had access to alcohol. Fewer students got drunk. Fewer students passed out. Fewer drunken student ran wild in the streets, fraternities, and dormitories. Bing drinking, funneling, quarters, etc. was already a problem regardless of age. What's needed is education and policing of campuses and enforcement of the law, especially against those selling or providing alcohol to those not yet of legal age.
