This is a good idea. For one because of the fairness issue people already brought up...if you can go to war, you should sure as hell be able to drink. But another point is that a lot of kids that are fairly sheltered or weren't "cool" in high school or what have you didn't have opportunities to experiment with alcohol. Then they become freshmen in college and are surrounded by it and go crazy. I've seen it firsthand, I think it was more prevalent at my school because for many reasons sheltered people are drawn here or pushed here by their parents. I've seen a shit ton of innocent girls and guys go crazy and get alcohol poisoning and have to go to the hospital during freshman year. If they had experimented legally a bit before getting into an big party/binge drinking endorsing atmosphere, I'm willing to bet a lot that those kind of things wouldn't happen nearly as much. Plus the illegality itself lends to the coolness of getting trashed. Sounds stupid but that's the way it is.
