It's one step away from "I'm okay to drive. I only drank beer!" or "I can't have a drinking problem- I just drink wine (though it's two bottles a night)."
Booze is booze, and collegians should be taught to drink ALL of it responsibly or not at all.

I don't think anyone is saying that you CAN'T...it's just being stated that it is a lot harder. Even if you are chugging - because at least if you are a bad chugger, you'll probably ralph it right back up. If you do shots, especially the sweet girly shots that knock you over half an hour later, they usually stay down.
Like Tom touched on, you used to be able to drink 3.2 beer at a younger age and get used to that first taste of alcohol - now it's everything at once.
