A ban on hard liquor does little to solve problems related to the abuse of alcoholic beverages. Universities have some power regarding alcohol consumption on their property but universities don’t have the power to implement solutions that will certainly work. If the drinking age was lowered to 18 and if alcohol education was required for young women and young men to consume alcoholic beverages, then binge drinking by college students would significantly decrease. Education and allowing people who should be old enough to drink alcohol are powerful solutions that would do a lot of good.
