Ecstacy/Binge Drinking

1) Which issue is the greater public concern? (Use information from the video or other sources to defend your choice)

It seemed like the ecstacy useage was high, but yet when the movie said at least 70% of college students drink before they're old enough (it was that or that they binge drink--which doesn't seem accurate), then this might be a bigger issue. Since binge drinking seems more common, this might be the greater public concern. Because it is legal (for some students), it might not be as heavily enforced as something that isn't allowed at all.

2) What could the government do to address this public concern? (Have a specific plan)

The public could make a statement that while out in public, people shouldn't be drinking so much that they could kill themselves. It is a big problem and would be hard to stop, but it is a problem, according to the movie. I think the government could give fines if it is apparent that they have had too much to drink...I don't necessarily think that a law should be set for a certain amount of drinks, because it's different for different people, but only that they behave themselves in public.
