[CR] finds headlines again

Choose Responsibility found itself in the headlines again today. Two interviews with Choose Responsibility's John McCardell, one in print in US News and World Report and one on air on NPR's Here and Now, emphasize the reality of the 21 year-old drinking age's failure to prevent young adults from consuming alcohol in irresponsible ways.

An editorial by Columnist Radley Balko also appeared online where he discusses at length what has changed in the 20 years since the drinking age was raised to 21. He writes, "But after 20 years, perhaps it's time to take a second look — a sound, sober (pardon the pun), science-based look — at the law's costs and benefits. McCardell provides a welcome voice in a debate too often dominated by hysterics. But beyond McCardell, Congress should really consider abandoning the federal minimum altogether or at least the federal funding blackmail that gives it teeth."

News articles in college newspapers continued to roll in as well: The Middlebury Campus, The Kent Stater.
