The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. It’s good that John McCardell went to Boston to engage in debate. Carolyn Classen is correct in that the ageist drinking age must be repealed. Ryan Price is also correct that the drinking age of 21 has caused and is causing consequences to the health of young women and young men. The Iowa City council is obligated to abandon the ageist proposal. There’s shame for the University of Iowa Faculty council for supporting the ageist proposal.

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. The ageist drinking age is the contributor to the "blackout generation", although not every unkversity student abuses alcohol. It's not correcf that as Amanda Jacobwitz reported, tyat many young women and young men treat alcohol as a sport but not a drink, causing consequences which include memory loss. Education and licensing for young women and young men who are 18-20 to consume alcohol is necessary to significantly decrease this.;

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. It’s not correct that universities in Iowa are experiencing the consequences of the ageist drinking age including rape and many hospitalizations. University students, composed of young women and young men, must not abuse alcohol because of the consequences. The participant is correct in that binge drinking by many university students started before they entered university. Nonageist solutions are the best answers to decrease it.

Comment on GW Hatchet Columnist: “Confessions of a Binge Drinker” by Edwin

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. Evan Schwartz is an ageist for calling university students “kids” so the language of the article is a shame. For me, it’s alright for those 18-20 to drink responsibly so to decrease binge drinking, ageism is not the answer. To create a good campaign against binge drinking, a limit of alcohol responsibility must be set. However, the most effective solution to decrease binge drinking is to lower the drinking age to 18 along with education and licensing.

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. It’s not correct that more girls and boys who are in high school are drinking alcohol, although if parents are supervising them, then it’s alright. Students at Harvard must conume alcohol responsibly because bing drinking leads to hospitalization. The proposal which the Iowa City Council is considering must not become law because ageism creates irrseponsibility when it comes to alcohol among young women and young men.

This incident is most unfortunate. That said, drunk driving does happen and is serious business. We recommend people in California charged with DUIs and DWIs to visit http://1800420LAWS.com or call 1-800-420-LAWS to get their DUI case handled by experienced, successful attorneys.

Comment on Record-High Arrests at PSU “State Patty’s Day” Weekend by Edwin

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. Saint Patty’s Day significane must be decreased or the university students who observe that day must drink responsibly. It’s unfortunate that in this year’s observation of that day by students from Penn State University, abuse of alcohol has continued with no decrease. For me, there’s nothing for young women and young men who are 18-20 to drink responsibly. Agiest police tactics is not the answer but recognizing the age of majority is.

The drinking age must be lowered to 18 along with education and licensing. It’s good that the idea to lower the drinking age to 18 has gone to the final round. I condemn universities which are required to contact young women and young men who are 18-20 for drinking because those universities are oppressive. Nicole Stockdale is correct in that the drinking age must be lowered. The legislature in Utah must pass the partial medical amnesty so it can become law. Joseph Pasquinelli is correct of the situation in universities.
