Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
An editorial on Sept. 23 preached against teen binge drinking. This is the same newspaper that published in the breezy Friday section on Sept. 12 a list of favorite spots for Chicago-area college students to eat, drink, etc. (“Guide to college life; Eat, drink and study; Students’ favorites”). Since only a fraction of college students are old enough to legally drink (age 21), it’s puzzling why the Tribune feels compelled to compile such a catalog and 11 days later take a strong and well-advised stand against teen binge drinking.
