Legislation designed to encourage underage drinkers to call for help for dangerously intoxicated friends received a public hearing at the Capitol on Thursday. The proposal mirrors a policy already in place at UW-Eau Claire and UW-Madison, across the Big 10, and in at least 17 states. Basically, a ticket for underage drinking would be off the table, for anyone under age 21 who calls for help for another underage drinker is in trouble.
