Not to derail the thread-- but i’m going to.
Given than NIH data show that almost 50% of all students age 18-22 drank alcohol in the “last month”, I don’t think the current policy works.
It seems to me it would be safer to allow consumption openly rather than forcing it into the shadows where kids may make even stupid choices. For example, rather than “pre-gaming” and slamming down alcohol before an event, they could drink that same amount over a longer period of time.
I attended 2 schools, one where the policy was very open “you are adults and we expect you to not take actions that harm yourself or the community” and the other where drinking was limited to dorm rooms. How I consumed alcohol was very different in those setting and my behavior was significantly less safe/healthy at the stricter school.
