Proposed alcohol la
By Glenn Burkins
USC students will have new rules governing the use of
alcohol if a bill in the General Assembly passes, said James
McMahon, director of Resident Student Development.
Several bills are in the state Legislature that would raise the
minimum drinking age. Under one bill, the minimum age

first year, then progress to 21 during the next two years.
If the age is raised to 21, McMahon said, USC will probably
make it illegal to possess alcohol on campus. However, if the
age is raised to 19, he said enforcement becomes more complicated.
All social gatherings would be monitored to ensure
tnat no one under age drinks beer or wine, he said.
Danny Baker, assistant vice president for Law Enforcement
and Safety, said it may become necessary to have spot checks
of students on campus to enforce the law.

Joe Dorton of the S.C. Alcohol and Beverage Control Com
mission said he thinks all the bills will be acted on before th
Legislature convenes for the summer. He said he thinks th
bill that would raise the minimum age to 19 will eventual!
pass.
The primary reason for the legislation is the increase in driv

said. He said 20 percent of S.C. traffic fatalities involv
juveniles, and 60 percent of those are alcohol-related.
"Students drink for three reasons," Dorton said. "Becaus
there is nothing else to do, to reduce tension and because the
don't feel they are relaxed until they have had a drink."
He said the greatest problem would be with the 18-year-oli
students for whom drinking will be illegal if the legislatioi
passes.

Dorton said any increase in age limits will be unpopular ?
e with some people because the state makes so much money
e from the sale of alcohol. He said this past year the state made
y between $9 million and $10 million from the sale of minibot?

Two open container bills are also in the Legislature, Dorton
i said. One would make it illegal to have an open alcoholic
e beverage in any motor vehicle. He said he thinks this bill will
not pass because it would outlaw having an open container in
e campers and parked cars.
y
The other bill would make it illegal for the driver to have an
open container and would not apply to parked cars,
d Another bill is aimed at bartenders and distributors. It
ii would make them responsible for damages caused to or by one
of their patrons.
