"In today's society everybody
wants to put the blame on some
body else. People should have to
take responsibility for their own
actions, Ewell said.
Roger Meyland, part-owner of
Troll's, said he agreed.
"The way to solve the drunk
driving problem is to prosecute
the hell out of those people and
enforce the laws," he said.
"People should also be educated
at an earlier age about drinking
and driving."
Meyland also said he thought
a higher drinking age would put
more drunk drivers on the road.
"It's going to take people away
from downtown where they can
walk where they're going. People
will start having keg parties at the
apartment complexes and they'll
have to drive to get there," he
said.
Meyland said Chapel Hill
could not support all the bars that
currently serve only beer if the
new law is enacted in North
Carolina. There are five such bars
in Chapel Hill: Troll's, Hender
son Street Bar, He's Not Here,
The Upper Deck and Linda's.
"This is going to put at least
two places out of business,"
Meyland said. "How can you run
a business when you're apprehen
sive about what's going to happen
five months down the road?
When you're worried that the
federal government might come
in and do something that's going
to put you out of business?"
Beer drinkers will not only find
fewer places to go but will also
pay higher prices for their beer,
said both Meyland and Upper
Deck manager Joe Townsend.
"Prices are going to skyrocket
to make up for the business that's
going to be lost," Townsend said.

"The federal government doesn't
realize how much state revenue
will be lost." Townsend said the
state would lose one dollar for
every case of beer not sold to bars
because of the higher drinking
age.
The higher drinking age will
also leave many employees of
bars and restaurants without
jobs. Townsend said The Upper
Deck currently employs three
people who are under 21. These
people would be unable to serve
alcoholic beverages because they
are under age. Ewell said that
about three-fourths of the staff
at Spanky's were under 21.
Townsend also said he thought
the higher drinking age would put
more drunk drivers, on the road.
"It's not going to stop anybody
from drinking. There will just be
a lot more driving around and
drinking."
Kim Scott, manager of Linda's,,
suggested another solution to
the problem: "They ought to raise
the driving age instead of the
drinking age.".
