Actually lowering the drinking age wouldn’t have any effect at all on colleges liability for alcohol related deaths. Most of the laws that make them liable have nothing to do with the age of the drinker, server responsibility laws are just as applicable when the drinker is 38 as when they’re 18.
What it would do is be a step towards ending our painfully idiotic phased adulthood. It’s just plain stupid that in this country you can vote and fight in a war but not get a freaking beer.
And as for the old goats. If the young girl is over 18 they’re legal, drunk or sober. Maybe it would be a little harder for the old goat since the 18 year old would be able to buy her own drink instead of asking some old goat to buy it for her.
Exactly. If one is an adult, one should be expected to act with a level of maturity and responsibility that goes along with that age.
