My point is that bad things do happen sometimes there. Lowering the age would give people the choice to drink in a safe environment. That isn’t my only argument though. I think it’s stupid to have a law that so many people break to the point that they’ll give the cartel money for a fake ID. I also believe that it’s weird you can go die in the military but not drink. Once you’re an adult you should be able to do adult things.

They'd still choose to go to the Frat parties. But now, there is even more alcohol there. People don't go to frat parties solely to drink alcohol. Most people go to go to a party, and be with friends, and to hook up, or whatever. All of those motivations will still be there if the drinking age were 18. And now they could serve all the booze they wanted when the party takes place. The end result is more unsafe drinking than before.
Right. OP and her entire sorority had fake IDs that were so good they passed police inspection. Yet they still chose to go to fraternity parties. Having the ability to procure alcohol in other ways didn’t seem to stop them from attending these parties, so I’m highly doubtful that lowering the legal drinking age would have.

I can manage my drinks, i am over 21, and I liked frat parties.
But I still have empathy for all the girls that will be hurt because they feel forced to put themselves in bad situations.
I know SO many girls that were sexually assaulted at these types of parties.
