Have you heard of “Choose Responsibility?” Here’s how their website describes the organization:
CHOOSE RESPONSIBILITY is a nonprofit organization founded to stimulate informed and dispassionate public discussion about the presence of alcohol in American culture and to consider policies that will effectively empower young adults age 18 to 20 to make mature decisions about the place of alcohol in their own lives.
It’s a great organization that seeks to pass on the growing body of research regarding the problems of having a 21-year drinking age. If you haven’t heard of it, please look it up; most people make assumptions (often guided by MADD and other organizations) regarding the efficacy of such a late drinking age that, turns out, aren’t true.
Why am I writing about it now? Because Sunday, February 22nd, there will be a segment about it on 60 minutes. You can find more information about it here.
Grace and peace,
