Video: 18 or 21? The great drinking age debate
More than 100 students attended The Drinking Age Debate, ASI’s latest True Life event.
John McCardnell, left, who thinks the drinking age should be lowered, argued that raising the drinking age to 21 years old has not stopped students from drinking.
James Fell, who thinks the legal drinking age should remain at 21, said the law has saved lives.

The next installment of ASI Events’ True Life Series will explore this very issue when The Drinking Age Debate comes to Chumash Auditorium Thursday at 8 p.
