Dinner With A Congressman

I still think it is comparable to alcohol. Many, if not most, college students start drinking alcohol before it is legal to do so. Many of them develop alcohol problems, but the majority learn how to control themselves.

This is just silly. Underage drunk driving kills thousands of people a year. Binge drinking kills college students yearly. Gambling problems can certainly lead to other problems, but to compare the two as simliar doesn't do your argument any favors.

If you want to convince your congressman never to vote to allow online poker, just tell him it's like underage drinking.
