<p>… I don’t even know where to start here… uncleboog, you are being ridiculous!
Since you seem to have retracted the post where you personally attacked livelaughlove, I’ll ignore it…</p>
<p>"the facts remain that the majority of College kids that drink are under 21, which that in itself makes it illegal and not OK. "</p>
<p>So you think that everything that is illegal is not okay? I seriously beg to differ, and if you really think that- you have a lot to learn. </p>
<p>“It must be zero tolerance with immediate expulsion, with anyone under the age of 21 sent home for a semester or more.”</p>
<p>That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. The penalties for hard drugs aren’t even that severe. College is a time to experience new things, and the responsible use of alcohol is among those. If gaining spots in the rankings is your goal, how come alcohol is even prevalent among the Ivies? I appreciate your genuine interest in making FSU a better school, but I don’t think that the alcohol situation is to blame.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t believe the tobacco metaphor is very accurate. Tobacco doesn’t influence your actions like alcohol does, and there is no real reason to smoke, unless out of habit. Alcohol, however, has many enjoyable effects which I am sure you are aware of.</p>
<p>This is coming from a current FSU student with a 3.75 GPA who goes out and drinks about once per week while still attending to his schoolwork. I am also in the honors program with the university scholarship and don’t “waste mommy and daddy’s money” either.</p>
