		Victim Impact Panels have been in operation since 1982, providing a forum for victims of drunk driving crashes to share their stories with offenders who are mandated to attend Panels as part of their sentences.

	Mothers Against Drunk Driving Summary
		MADD and other advocates of the 21-year old minimum drinking age claim that the harm of underage consumption of alcohol stems from their belief that the brain does not stop developing until the early 20s.
		MADD also ignores the fact that many other countries, including Canada and Mexico have their legal drinking age set at 18 and that no government has endorsed the theory that alcohol consumption retards brain development.
		MADD frequently cites this statistic as "proof" that a high drinking age saves lives, however its critics have pointed out that similar fatalities among the same age group in Canada have dropped by a similar proportion despite the fact that Canada's drinking age remains at 18 or 19 (depending on the province).
