[quote=Anonymous]The gist of recent threads here on DCUM is that any parental involvement in academic of your college-age child is strictly verboten “they are adults for Pete’s sake!” Yet, when it comes to consuming alcohol, we should have our college age kids under an iron thumb – not even acknowledge the reality that many of them will drink. The hypocrisy is endless. I think BOTH issues require SOME parental involvement and counseling.  Unfortunately the alcohol issue has become more  complicated due to the archaic drinking age law (The US is one of only four developed countries in the world that has a nationwide drinking age of over 18, with the other three being South Korea (19), Iceland (20), and Japan (20)) I came of age when the drinking age was still 18 and attended a big party school, but even there we did not have the type of routine binge drinking that goes on at MANY college campuses today.  The rise in assaults of intoxicated female college students is directly related to the rise in binge drinking that followed the change in the legal drinking age.[/quote]
