Underage drinking has been out of control on college campuses since they raised the drinking age to 21. Before that it was just drinking was a problem. I went to college in the early 80s when they raised the age to 21. I knew people who binged drank every weekend. This is nothing new. And as for starving themselves to get drunk faster? That isn't always the case. They only have so much money and they choose to spend it on alcohol than food.

That as always been happening too. I don't think it will lead to any more drunk leaders than we have now. It has been part of the college experience. I know people who were hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. I never got that drunk because I didn't want to vulnerable.

Ah nah, why would you want to do that? The one time I drank a lot on an empty stomach I ended up puking in a park shortly afterward. People will always make bad decisions, though. I learned from that not to do it again.

I'm just glad I'm the age I am to not have to see what this future will bring. Starving themselves to get drunk faster will onlylead to a quicker death ! What a shame.

Exactly, seems most are really concentrating on getting drunk several days a week.

Now that I'm 21 I'm going to miss underage drinking in college. I got an A in it last year.

For the record, I'm the type of person who doesn't like to drink multiple days in a row--I prefer one night of getting turnt up and then I'm done for a while. Though I admit during sophomore year (when I was 19) I was partying at least once a week. Although it did help the local economy with my regular purchases of Bombay Sapphire ;)
