New Policy on Drinking?

<p>I don’t understand why some schools just get their head handed to them when drinking comes up. I went to Princeton, a school that rarely gets lambasted for this sort of thing, and visited it for a Saturday night. Absolutely insane. Free beer, free wine, free shots, free ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, on dorms, in eating houses. And all you need to get in is a student ID (even though over 50% of the students are under 21). I was lent one, and all people do is just straight up drink. People were drinking so much that they were totally housed at 9:30 PM. And yet, you never hear about this sort of thing at this college. You always hear about it at whatever college seems to have a lot of fraternities. I think that’s the problem; people instantly associate fraternities with liquor, liquor, liquor. As in, you go to a fraternity to drink (that is the popular conception). I am sure that this is not the case, however; but as Washington and Lee is THE fraternity school, I would come to expect that they, naturally, would be the first attacked in any anti-drinking crusade.</p>

<p>Otherwise, I’m pretty confident that as long as you don’t go to Brigham Young or Pomona, you’ll be able to find alcohol without getting arrested.</p>

<p>That’s just my opinion, though. I could be horribly wrong.</p>
