LIVE: Editorial forum on binge drinking and potentially lowering the drinking age

September

When 130 of the nation’s college and university presidents signed a statement in July calling for reconsideration of the age 21 drinking law, they also called for a public discussion about the issues, including binge drinking, related to alcohol abuse by people aged 18-24.

Part of that discussion played out Thursday in a special Editorial Spotlight hosted by the Editorial Board of The Journal News and LoHud.com. Watch video of the session, including back and forth between our panel of experts and community members, at LoHud.com/editorialspotlight.

And share your take on the proceedings; visit the forum section of LoHud.com.
