Kill 'Puritanical' Drinking Age

TO THE EDITORS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The best way to stop so-called "binge drinking" is to lower the drinking age to 18, if not 16, and fight to abolish the evil reputation that alcoholic beverages have among clueless portions of the population. It is high time that we overcome the repressive puritanical heritage of this nation and begin to make people responsible for their own choices. The government's policy towards alcoholic beverages has been consistently inadapted, reaching peaks of idiocy with the prohibition and continuing today with age restrictions. I can only hope that one day the United States will have the maturity to follow the example of countries with no enforced drinking age. --Julian Allen '96
