President Mason knows what he is doing. He has done so many great things already, and it does not hurt that he has such great support!

Congratulations President Mason! We support you and your stand. You are on the right track!

I think it would also be prudent to look at the facts world wide on this problem. Many of our teens are saying there is no drinking age in Europe and they don't have this problem. Sorry, that is a myth: Binge Britain: Now under-21s face ban on buying alcohol

Emerging research suggests that different portions of the brain which is still developing until the age of 21 and for some as late as 25, and its neurotransmitter systems are affected negatively by alcohol with both short and long term consequences. These impacts range from damage to the brain centers for thinking, planning and learning, to changes in the structures of the brain that mediate pleasure and predispose youth to depression, addiction or alcoholism later on.

This has become a world wide problem (binge drinking and alcoholism) WHO is to develop a global strategy on alcohol. On 24 May 2008, the 61st session of the World Health Assembly adopted an important resolution on "Strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol". This resolution calls for the development by 2010 of a draft global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol.

All we ask is that if we delay drinking until the age of 21, the chances of an individual having a problem with alcohol or having other health problems will be greatly decreased. Until they turn 21, they should be learning how to face the rest of their lives, get a good education or develop a skill or trade to support themselves and their families. That will help our country have a vibrant future!

The Amethyst Initiative is very different than the Amethyst Project.

The Amethyst Project supported women to develop activities and enterprises which address local community needs in rural areas of the Peak District. Through improvement of skills and experience, women are helped to enhance their social and economic opportunities and to contribute to their communities. ~ http://amethystproject.org/

Launched in July 2008, the Amethyst Initiative is made up of chancellors and presidents of universities and colleges across the United States. These higher education leaders have signed their names to a public statement that the 21 year-old drinking age is not working, and, specifically, that it has created a culture of dangerous binge drinking on their campuses. ~ http://www.amethystinitiative.org/
