[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, that was not my experience in college. We were smart enough (girls and guys) to protect ourselves from STDs. And if you think that only the drunk kids are having sex in college, I got a bridge to sell ya.

Dear pp, no I don't think that. But I do believe the data suppirts that drunken stupors are when most unprotected sex occurs and people don't think "wait, i could be pregnant next week" because it has been proven. Have you not heard of reduced inhibitions?  No one is saying all or nothing, it is a likelihood test. If you are drunk, you are more LIKELY TO:
Have unprotected sex
Have sex with a stranger
Have promiscuous sex
Get pregnant
Develop other problems, but those risks are enough.

And this stuff is happening even with this drinking age on the books.  My point is, lower the minimum age so that these young adults can buy their own beer and are not reliant on these secret "illegal" parties in order to socialize.

FWIW, I attended plenty of frat/dorm/apt parties as a college student.  I am not against them - not at all.  They were fun!  But I don't know that I would want to be completely reliant on someone else to provide these social opportunities.  Sometimes it really is nice to go out with a friend to a club to go dancing.  Heck my whole dorm hall used to all walk together to go out and dance at a local club when I was in college.  We could buy our own beer, too - which was nice![/quote]
