I don’t get it. So a guy comes out of high school, decides to be an apprentice plumber or electrician or go to work as a bank teller or possibly go to work for the DOT on the road crew or for UPS driving a truck and he has fewer rights wrt to drinking than some person who goes to ECU on a football scholarship and majors in Phys. Ed.? Or possibly someone who goes to UNC and majors in gender studies? And that’s because? How do we derive this position from Lockean rights theory:)? BTW, I think we should be paying more attention to our colleague George Leaf over at the Pope Center for Higher Ed. Policy who has suggested that we are probably already over-encouraging people to go to college. 18 year olds are legal adults in every other respect and they should be treated as such when it comes to consumption of alcohol, both with regards to rights and responsibilities. And clearly they should not be discriminated against on the basis of their chosen career path.
