RISKS OF TURNING 21

from University of Maryland School of Public Health

Laws against drinking alcohol before the age of twenty-one apparently do some good. That is one way of looking at a new study showing alcohol related risks worsening when college students turn twenty-one. University of Maryland School of Public Health researchers say more than one thousand first year college students were followed for four years about their alcohol risk behaviors, such as riding with a driver who was under the influence, driving after drinking any alcohol and driving while intoxicated. Not surprisingly, results showed risky alcohol behaviors are quite common among college students, but there were noticeable increases in all three categories of risk when students reached the legal drinking age of twenty-one. Lead author Amelia Arria says the study argues against a lower legal drinking age.
