I don't know if this story is true or not, but figured it would be of interest to everyone here. msnbc.msn.com/id/6437288/

  • Lower the drinking age Raise the driving age Improve public transport I got home from most of my drinking and staggering via taxis, buses and trains... At least Phelp is giving a message of contrition and trying to speak out against what he did. How many other athletes show such humility when they have done wrong in the "do you know who I am " kind of world that many celebrities live in? Well said. :groovy: Who needs more "do you know who I am" types? Blech. But you know, my son just did a research report on the drinking/driving age/licensing issue. It seems that statistics do, in fact, show that when the drinking age was raised from 18 to 21, the "incidents" (or maybe it was crash fatalities) of/from drunk driving declined. Although, for teenagers, it appears that getting rid of passengers and other "distractions" (cell phones, ipods) yields the greatest decrease in "incidents." Public transportation is good.
