Substance free dorms/floors

Not meaning to sound totally clueless, but can anyone explain what "substance free" means in the CONTEXT of Beloit --
no substances allowed in the dorm (yes, I know that is probably the "rule" for any underage dorm, or in the case of drugs, anywhere, but what is the reality)?
a pledge by the student to not take substances of any kind while living in that dorm/on that floor?
somewhere between a party floor and a totally "dry" oasis?

My S is considering Beloit and while he is definitely NOT a partyer, he may, at some point his freshman year, succumb to trying a glass of Wisconsin's renowned brew even though he will be underage. I don't want to encourage him to look at substance free floors if that is outside the norm for that demographic any more than I would suggest a "party" dorm for him. What is the reality on this campus?

Thanks for anyone who can provide practical guidance.
