Clearly nobody at the ABA did so. Clearly nobody at PETA did so. They launched an advertising campaign targeting college students, saying beer is healthier than milk and suggesting they don't drink milk because that means cows have to be milked, and, PETA says, cows don't seem to like being milked. Drinking milk isn't connected to other risk behaviors, such as sexual activity, drugs, smoking and violence. Young people aren't killed in car crashes because the driver drank too much milk.
Alcohol can kill college students.
It's illegal for most college students to drink beer. It's legal to drink milk. If it were just that these actions by the ABA and PETA were unique, poorly conceived ideas, I wouldn't be quite so upset. Unfortunately, they are just two more examples of the disturbing trend of adults abdicating responsibility to youth. Story No. 1 in the sports section is as likely to be another account of a professional athlete being suspended for drug abuse, arrested for battering his wife or even jailed on suspicion of murder as it is a story about an actual game.
