Three Wisconsin state legislators seem to think&#160;so.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed bill, sponsored by Republican representatives Adam Jarchow, Cindi Duchow, and Rob Swearingen would <a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel3000.com\/news\/politics\/bill-would-lower-drinking-age-in-state-to-19\/653482002\">reduce the legal drinking age in Wisconsin to 19<\/a>. By lowering the minimum age, Jarchow insists Wisconsin could save &#8220;countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars&#8221; currently spent enforcing drinking laws, particularly on college campuses where citations for underage drinking are&#160;common.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see no reason why we can send young men and women off to war but they can&#8217;t have a beer,\u201d Jarchow added. The lawmakers also argue that making 19 the new drinking age will still keep most high school students from legally buying&#160;alcohol.<\/p>\n<h2>Pushback: quick and&#160;fierce<\/h2>\n<p>Wisconsin\u2019s proposal may have gathered support among a handful of state lawmakers, but it will have to overcome substantial objections and&#160;hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) reacted quickly, arguing the facts don\u2019t support the lawmaker\u2019s line of thinking and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madd.org\/blog\/news-alert-wisconsin-moves-lower-drinking-age\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+maddblog+%28MADD+Blog%29\">issued a statement<\/a> in strong opposition to the new&#160;proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be irresponsible and quite frankly hard to understand why anyone would support, or even condone, an action that would bring about such horrific results as this. . . . lowering the minimum drinking age would add to the terrible toll that already plagues our country because of drinking and driving,\u201d MADD\u2019s statement&#160;read.<\/p>\n<p>Opponents point out that the bill is unnecessary as Wisconsin law already allows teenagers to drink in bars and restaurants when accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age. And it certainly doesn\u2019t help that Wisconsin has a reputation as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpr.org\/wisconsin-heaviest-drinking-state-country-study-finds\">heaviest-drinking state in the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Consequences for lowering the drinking&#160;age<\/h2>\n<p>Wisconsin isn\u2019t the first state to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/states-reconsidering-legal-drinking-age\/\">a proposal<\/a> like this. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/2015\/03\/poll-should-minnesota-lower-the-legal-drinking-age\/\">Minnesota<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nj.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2016\/02\/should_nj_drop_drinking_age_to_18_lawmakers_weigh.html\">New Jersey<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gencourt.state.nh.us\/lsr_search\/billText.aspx?id=394&amp;type=4\">New Hampshire<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/ktla.com\/2015\/11\/04\/proposed-ballot-initiative-that-would-lower-drinking-age-in-california-to-18-cleared-to-collect-signatures\/\">California<\/a> have each played with the idea of lowering the minimum drinking age in recent years, though none have turned out any laws as a result. The numbers may explain&#160;why.<\/p>\n<p>According to NHTSA, in 2016 \u201cyoung drivers, 16-24 years old, made up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/drunk-driving#age\">39 percent of drivers involved in fatal alcohol-impaired crashes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NHTSA also estimates that minimum-drinking-age laws saved 31,417 lives between 1975 and&#160;2016.<\/p>\n<p>Lives aren\u2019t all that\u2019s in jeopardy\u2014federal dollars are at stake too. If passed, the measure would run counter to a nationally accepted norm set over 30 years ago when the <em>Uniform Drinking Age&#160;Act<\/em> of 1984 required states to raise their legal drinking age to 21 or face federal highway funding cuts. For most states, millions of dollars are on the&#160;line.<\/p>\n<p>So, would lowering the minimum drinking age produce the benefits and outcomes Wisconsin lawmakers&#160;claim?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps a better question then is this: given the existing research, does gambling with lowering the minimum drinking age make&#160;sense?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/go.scramsystems.com\/7-leading-trends-in-alcohol-testing-technologies-white-paper?utm_source=sobering%20up&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=7%20trends%20white%20paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/trands-wp-download.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could lowering the legal drinking age reduce binge drinking among younger drinkers, particularly those in college?
