Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. It’s been more than 25 years since the federal government mandated that the legal minimum drinking age be 21. Prior to that, in some states, the minimum age was as low as 18. Since April is Alcohol Awareness Month, it seems appropriate to consider the impact this change has had on public health. Toben Nelson, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist, provides his perspective. <clip: “It’s easy to forget how bad things were…taking the lives of many of our young people.”> Nelson adds that more work needs to be done now to reduce the amount of binge drinking among college students. <clip: “We haven’t done much in the way of trying to control…and laws around underage drinking.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
