Amethyst Initiative

The Amethyst Initiative is a movement to rethink and lower the legal drinking age of 21.

130 college presidents feel the same way and have publicly signed their names in the petition on the Amethyst Initiative- Rethink the Drinking Age website. Their main emphasis is that despite the minimum legal drinking age of 21, there is a dangerous binge drinking culture on most college campuses.

This is a interesting post about the drinking age. It would be interesting to find out what is happening with this petition. See if you can find out where the petition stands.

The college presidents do have a good argument saying that the age should be lowered because of binge drinking. Will this petition actually work?
