Let s have a fair and balanced debate. darby fox is a therapist specializing in behavior and psychotherapist tom kearsing works with a lot of kids in this demographic. darby let s start with you. you think it s probably a pretty good idea to lower the drinking age back to 18, 19, 20? i would probably do it to age 19. because then most people are out of high school. and i think it s really important that we do that because we re seeing a huge increase in deaths from the 18 to 24 population because of the way they drink. you re talking about binge drinking? binge drinking, yep. we pushed it into gaming and in the closet. it s very dangerous. we re seeing deaths as opposed to high school dropout rates. there s a big difference. that s one of the things, tom, that i have heard from college admissions deans. they said, you know, if your kid has had a drink before they come to college, they come to college, it s no big thing. but if they haven t, they go to college and they go crazy.

Appropriate that act was, states that allowed residents to drink at ages lower than 21 saw higher high school dropout rates in addition to what has been documented such as lower educational attainment and higher substance a because. we saw an increase in dropout rates. and already at risk groups at dropping out there was a 4% increase. in today s numbers with 3.3 million students expected to graduate this year that means 99,000 more of them would drop out. but correlation does not imply causation. they had a lower drinking age, but may have had other factors. schools may have changed, times may have changed. are this adults or not? lower the drinking age or don t let them vote until they
