Reduce the drinking age to 16, This will allow younger children to learn how to consume alcohol responsibly.

Each year, hundreds of college students die due to excessive alcohol consumption. The reason? Kids go from homes with responsible parents/guardians to a world where they are fully responsible for themselves, and alcohol is easily accessible even to those who are underaged. The solution is simple, lower the drinking age. In order to prevent kids from acting irresponsibly while in college, all a parent would need to do is introduce their children to alcohol in a much safer environment, at home with them. By the time the child gets to college, he/she will be fully able to control himself/herself in all alcohol related scenarios where parents are not there to help.
