<p>If anyone on this thread has mentioned this, I missed it:</p>
<p>The recent book "Binge: Campus Life in an Age of Disconnection and Excess" by Barrett Seaman studies
drinking habits and problems on twelve elite universities in the US and Canada. He concludes that McGill with the lowest drinking age at 18 has the least problem with excessive drinking that leads to health issues. (I know because my d. goes to McGill that there is a great deal of drinking at the start of the first year, as students get their first taste of freedom, in a legal environment. That settles down by October--those that dont "get it" are soon gone from U.)</p>
<p>JHS: Your comment in #12 about Frosh is right on--my d. got the same offer- it took me by surprise.</p>
