<p>Why as a matter of fact they do have pubs on the other campuses.<br>
Sorry KPMOM, on this one I totally disagree with you. Let’s think this through, the pub is open (this is how it was when I was there anyway) like once a week or less and only limited hours. It is only available to first class midshipmen who are over 21. Now, the people who are drinking at the pub are probably going to drink anyway, so… the question is would you rather have them walking to a bar and to bed or would you rather have them driving? Unfortunately doing neither is not an option, and unfortunately drinking and driving is something that happens more than we would like to think.</p>
<p>You mention the midshipman who was killed drinking and driving…could have been prevented if he was drinking at the Midshipman pub that night. Now, do you really think it should be closed? The midshipmen will drink and to me it is much safer to have them drinking under the close supervision of the school and within walking distance of their bunks. Sorry, no drinking, on or off campus, isn’t a plausible option.</p>
