sure, make an example
enforce the law, what is it for?
No wonder we let illegals in, the law doesn’t matter
can we ignore laws on murder and rape too? well, if they’re drunk in college we do I guess.
I’m of two minds about drinking to excess. The first is of the wry observation that “If it were not for alcohol, the human species would have long ago died out.”
But, more practically speaking, it is vital to keep people under the age of about 21 away from addictive substances of all kinds. This is because, until that age, the brain is not fully grown, and can be altered by the introduction of addictive substances to both be more susceptible to addiction, and to be less able to break out of addiction.
After the age of around 21, it is much harder to become addicted, and even if you do, it is much easier to break that addiction.
Alcohol is particularly bad, because it can cause damage throughout the body, in the short, medium, and long term. It can also exacerbate other medical conditions and contribute to mental illness.
Because it prepares them to be great leaders like their socialist, bipartisan parents.
The campus cops and city policemen do nothing but look for drunk students in order to ticket them and make money for lawyers and headaches for students and parents. My friend’s daughter got arrested while walking around intoxicated at UGA. Someone’s making a fortune off the drinking age being 21.
