Colleges: Drinking age ‘not working’ — baltimoresun.com
Top university officials in Maryland - including the chancellor of the state university system and the president of the Johns Hopkins University - say the current drinking age of 21 “is not working” and has led to dangerous binges in which students have harmed themselves and others.
Six college presidents in Maryland are among more than 100 college and university presidents nationwide who have signed a statement calling for a public debate on rethinking the drinking age.
“Kids are going to drink whether it’s legal or illegal,” said Johns Hopkins President William R. Brody, who supports lowering the drinking age to 18. “We’d at least be able to have a more open dialogue with students about drinking as opposed to this sham where people don’t want to talk about it because it’s a violation of the law.”
Absolutely. Now, substitute either “sex,” or “drugs” for “drinking…”

College professors are only mildly interested in sex problems, since almost all incoming freshman are already 18, and all the age-related sex “crimes” no longer apply.
Same for drugs. Same laws for everyone.
… thank you, Libby Dole (RINO - NC).
Hmmm,
Do you suppose we could get them to agree to say make it legal to drink, drive or run for President all at the same age–35.
