[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 187345, member: 1514"] I would be interested in going back to the "Olden days" and seeing what the statistics say as far as the rates for under 18 drinking, binge drinking, and all those good things. AND the rates of alcoholism rising from those kids. I dont remember it being a big deal about kids bring booze to school. Im sure it happened from time to time. It does now. We are kidding ourselves if we think raising the age limit has stopped high school kids from getting booze. I wonder if there were more DUI's back then or now. Would be an interesting study. Of course it would be somewhat flawed because the limit was higher and the arrest rates were lowers and convictions were harder to get. Cops didnt push it as much. They didnt have road blocks and such. [/QUOTE]
