Should The Drinking Age Be Lowered?

In an effort to address student misconduct, the president of Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., announced last month that hard alcohol would be banned on campus. But many critics found the announcement bizarre, since at least half of college age kids are underage. And singling out hard liquor seemed like an ineffective solution to bad behavior.

Is there a better way to deal with underage drinking? Should the drinking age, perhaps, be lowered?
