Alcoholic Beverages Age Drinking
625 words
One of the greatest disputes in colleges today is
whether or not alcoholic beverages should be
allowed on campus. It is known that there are a

drinking on campus. Obviously, there are many
students who believe that drinking should not be
outlawed throughout their college life. However, a
majority of college residents tend to forget that

community policing has become especially popular
in recent years, since celebration of diversity,
had succeeded in turning the ever-increased number
