<p>The numbers ARE much smaller at Smith (hey, I deal with stuff for a living). And, for me, the issue is not so much the drinking per se, but it’s impact on the college culture. Lots of students don’t drink at Williams (well, the numbers are actually relatively small, but they are there). But you’d have to be blind not to feel it in the culture. (and it’s a very masculine culture). It’s not so much a numbers issue, but a cultural one. You just don’t feel anything like it at Smith.</p>
