Colleges' misguided plan for drinking

College presidents are wrong. Data clearly show the damage done by letting 18- to 20 year-olds drink. Awell-intentioned but misguided group of college and university presidents has been in the news recently for suggesting that we revisit the drinking age and asserting that 21 "is not working." Called the Amethyst Initiative, their proposal would have received a failing grade in my sociology classroom for its faulty logic and how unmindful it is of the history of alcohol policy in this country.
