<p>I’m the parent of a freshman, and my impression is that the administration wants Carls–with some guidance–to figure out the alcohol issue for themselves, which, IMHO, is not a bad idea. Alcohol is a part of our society, and these students will, at some point, run into it. Carleton is probably as good an environment as any to figure out whether or not you want to drink, how much, and the ramifications of those choices.</p>
