My jaw dropped upon reading this headline. Then, a pissed off face immediately took over, as I felt ripped off and screwed over.
But after a few minutes of rational thinking: a large grin.
Giggidy.
The headline, “Cut drinking age to 18, college presidents urge,” gave us more mixed emotions than a junior high school girl’s P.E. locker room. Reasoning:
College presidents from about 100 of the nation’s best-known universities, including Duke, Dartmouth and Ohio State, are calling on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, saying current laws actually encourage dangerous binge drinking on campus.
Which leads us to a 12-part series here on the ‘Culture on the effects of lowering the drinking age to 18. Here’s what our editorial board is planning:
Tough Forecast in the Fake ID Industry: Inside sources from a few unnamed west coast college towns are poppin’ IDs for $150 that scan and black light. But lowering the drinking age could be detrimental, slash those jobs and potentially cripple the industry. Indirectly, would McLovin’ ever be McLovin’ without them? There goes Hollywood, as actors will starve and take jobs at Starbucks just to feed the family.
Hottest. Bars. Ever. Your local watering hole would never be the same. Recently, Olympic athletes broke all sorts of world records in Beijing. But multiply that feat by 100x and you’ve got the caliber of all-time records for hottest bars in America when including the 18- to 20-year-old demographic.
Man-children like Greg Oden won’t be awkwardly young. How straight up embarrassing is it not to be able to join the team at the bar? Or asking the team manager to buy him a 30 pack of ‘Stones?
“Drink that shit your damn self!”: Bonus. We found a somewhat informing YouTube documentary on underage drinking. Observe at your own risk.
