I would assume every sport is different, but my kids are swimmers and visited many schools and drinking and partying was a part of most (read: all) trips. Esp. DI schools (Ivy, Patriot and others). DIII was a little different but not by much.

Your kid can choose to join in or not. My kids both claimed to nurse a beer all night. Not sure I believe it based on how they felt when they got home. Both were offered LL or help with admission depending on the league. One went Ivy and one went DIII.

I had heard for years from experienced swim parents that OV weekends were insane. They were right. Prep your kids. It is a whole new world for some. (mine!)
