WITH ALL THE DRAWBACKS OF DRINKING ,
SHOULD THE DRINKING CULTURE BE STILL
PROMOTED IN COLLEGES?
Adults under 21 are deemed capable of voting, signing contracts, serving on juries
and enlisting in the military, but should they be told they are not mature enough to
have a beer ?
Prohibition can even lead to more problems, such as, increased disrespect for rules
& regulations, unregulated and dangerous beverages, increases in binge drinking,
and many other serious problems.
And hence , the problem exists..!!!
