Students at MSU expressed their thoughts on a possible raise in the Legal drinking age. Some felt that it would be no purpose. MSU student Sierra Simmons was clear in statement that it was not about age but the maturity and responsibility people lack. She said people only gain through experience. Marylou, an MSU alum, agreed that parents should teach this responsibility by allowing them to drink some with family and telling them about alcohol awareness. Students also expressed that there will always be around the legal drinking age and that’s why it won’t have the impact it should at colleges and universities. Overall students felt it was unnecessary and would harm the tradition of  “turning up” when a person has finally reached the age of 21.
