Drinking at LMC

Drinking here at Lees-McRae seems to be a very hot topic. you have students you drink once a month, 1 a week, and even students who drink everyday. I believe that some students drink just to be social -- you are at a party and every one is drinking so one may have a drink just to fit in. I think that the drinking age should be lowered to 18 (but with my luck it will be lowered as soon as I turn 21). My mom tells me stories of how when she was younger the drinking age was 18, and there were a significant lower amount of alcohol related incidents. I don't have many facts or statics about why it should be lowered, but hey what 18 year old doesn't want to be able to buy their own alcohol.
