Debate called on lowering 21 drinking age
By Matt Montgomery, Staff Writer
It’s time to rethink the national drinking age of 21, say a group of college presidents.
Since 1988, 21 has been the age that one can legally purchase or consume alcohol in the U.S.
Launched in July 2008, the Amethyst Initiative is an organization made up of U.S. college presidents and chancellors to reconsider the national drinking age. It was founded by John McCardell, the former president of Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vt.
McCardell said he was inspired to start the initiative during his time as president of Middlebury College.
