Reduce the risk of drinking in dangerous settings.
According to Dwight B. Heath, an anthropology professor in Brown University, banning alcohol until age 21 creates something of the “forbidden fruit syndrome”. It causes younger people to crave it even more, prompting them to enjoy it in more dangerous environments, such as fraternity houses. But, if they start drinking at a younger age, the safer they will be. The sooner they would also realize that “alcohol has no mystique. It’s no big deal”.
Drinking alcohol in regulated environments and with supervision would also reduce the risk of unsafe drinking behavior and activities.Reduce the risk of drinking in dangerous settings.
