Almost all studies agree that states with higher MLDAs fostered citizens who drank less often than those in states with lower MLDAs, both before and after their 21st birthdays. The number of high-school seniors nationally who report binge drinking in the past two weeks has also fallen to below 30 percent on a consistent basis, after topping 40 percent every year from...

"Society will respond. Some counterweight to this lunacy must emerge, be it in the shape of a new dissident movement, or other...
Because Harvard-Yale is the proverbial bowl game for both teams every season—the Ivy League is the only I-AA conference not allowed entrance into the division’s playoffs—The Game is only really The Game when you win.
