Consequences of Underage drinking?

Where are you going to school?

Some schools are strict (or in towns that are strict) and you can get in some trouble, while others are a free for all.

My school’s a wet campus. In the freshmen dorms, the ra’s let alcohol slip so long as they know what’s going on. If you bring it too far though (and they let you know the limits), you just have to talk with the residential college director, and possible have to take a short online class). So long as you’re not being an idiot, there really aren’t any consequences.

At another school (one of the schools on the “top 10 parties” list), I have a friend who was kicked out of her dorm and fired from her dorm job because someone claimed she had alcohol in her room… there was no alcohol- the school didn’t check and just took the side of the other girl.
However, the girl was just moved to another dorm. She wasn’t kicked out of reslife, so not too bad in the long run.

Also, I come from a city where there are no public drinking laws (during certain “holidays” I used to drink on the streets, with cops present, and they didn’t care one bit that I was clearly underage, because I wasn’t causing a scene or problems). [Ten points to anyone who can guess my city. It’s not difficult]

Try that in another place? You might get arrested. In other words, know you’re boundaries.

Edit: No one likes the idiot who gets blackout drunk. That’s not kosher.
