Drinking Age of 21 Hasn't Reduced Binge Drinking by Students, Study Finds
Raising the drinking age to 21 two decades ago has decreased the rates of excessive drinking by many, but not by college students, according to a new study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis. The study, based on national databases involving more than 500,000 individuals, found that binge drinking by male college students was unchanged, while binge drinking by female college students increased dramatically after the drinking age went up.
