<p>You keep changing what you’re saying the problem is though. At first you just said “binge drinking parties.” The amount of alcohol consumed per person has little to do with how big the party is. In fact, people doing stupid things like Power Hours is far more common at smaller parties than the huge ones you can hardly move around in. </p>
<p>Next you redefined the problem as people pregaming and driving drunk. While some do go to the larger parties and then go out to bars, it is far more common for people to either drink with a couple friends before going to a bar, and even those people generally take the bus. You even said, in direct contradiction to the last post, that you wanted the parties broken up BEFORE they got out of control. The police already do break up parties that get too big, and apartment complexes already have courtesy officers that make people leave if parties are getting too loud or big and there are complaints.</p>
<p>Then you said you were warning people about letting their kids live off campus, while you’ve never made any argument supporting that living off campus and within walking distance of parties that they would attend anyway increases the odds that someone will drive drunk. </p>
<p>You seem to be equating binge drinking with large parties, but it occurs as much if not more at the smaller parties that the extra security that you think is necessary would never break up. You’re right, we should try to cut down on drunk driving, but the way you want to do it is ineffective to do any more than they already do. And I don’t have a problem with the police coming and breaking up parties that are out of control, I have a problem with a private security firm doing so or either of them breaking up something, and I quote you here</p>

<p>You can’t punish people for what you think they might do.</p>
