I am responding to the recent array of articles regarding a possible alcohol amnesty policy at Pitt. If only two students in the past two years have been given underage citations while seeking medical attention, what is the huge problem? Why are we seeking to use a policy to bailout underagers who knowingly and willingly break the law? Yes, we all have drunk under age. It’s a risk we take, and a decision we made ourselves. Perhaps the writers of these articles should encourage personal, individual responsibility for once instead.
