60 Minutes story about drinking age

This Sunday, February 22 at 7:00 p.m., 60 Minutes (CBS) will air a segment about "The Debate on Lowering the Drinking Age".

MADD has a good website about why the drinking age should stay 21.

In September, on behalf of the coalition, I submitted an opinion piece to The Seattle Times that was published in its online version.

If, as a country, we expand this debate about the drinking age, I encourage everyone who participates to be respectful of differing opinions and to ask ourselves what is best for our children and our communities. Remember that many prevention programs have been proved to reduce underage drinking rates, including among 18-21 year-olds and on college campuses.
