Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R - Burlington), became the voice of reason by not throwing in with special interests' Nov. 8 attempt to lower Wisconsin's drinking age, effectively killing the proposal's future. (JournalSentinel article.) Alcohol is a toxin and known
carcinogen. Instead of encouraging more people to drink by lowering
the drinking age to 19, Wisconsin might want to focus on educating
more kids about this drug.
The suggestions by
the bill's sponsors that lowering the age to legally use this drug
will save money is nearly as absurd as the concept that drinking a
toxin 'in moderation' somehow has health benefits. At legal age 21,
alcohol use – all alcohol use, not just drinking and driving or the
disease of alcoholism – costs the economy $250 billion a year,
mostly in lost productivity. That's enough to buy every man, woman,
and child in the U.S. a 55-inch, HDTV for Christmas… every year.
Increasing the number of legal drinkers is going to reduce the cost?
A fine piece of fiction.
Brain damage is so significant it overshadows the cancer risk of a known carcinogen. The concern is especially acute for women drinkers of the only dietary link to an increased risk of breast cancer. The younger a woman starts, the higher the risk. Breast tissue is developing at age 21... again a case for increasing the drinking age rather than lowering it.
The public and
political appetite (FYI: Beverage alcohol is among the top-spenders
in elections) for raising the drinking age isn't there. And it isn't
practical. What's practical is beginning alcohol education at
earlier grades in the same fashion we start tobacco education. At
it's simplest, it starts will calling alcohol a drug.
With that in mind,
shame on the sponsors for suggesting the fictional cost savings from
lowering the drinking age would be used for drug treatment. Treatment
of the same drug you're peddling? Or were you only suggesting that to
ride the coattails of the public interest in the opioid topic when
you're fully aware that the accountability for actually spending the
money for treatment doesn't exist?
