I agree with James in principle.
However, (putting on my old fuddy duddy hat) at college age many, I would dare say most, people have not developed a huge amount of self confidence and maturity. Those things take a long time and a lot of experience to grow. I've lived through it myself and have three children ages 17 to 25 who I'm watching fight all of these same battles, so I have the advantage of hindsight.
Peer pressure is something that many young people find impossible to fight. Groupthink is a fact of life. The people who have enough self esteem and confidence to fight it are fortunate indeed.
That's part of the reason that the Nationals have the unhappy and unwanted job of being the "Hazing and Alcohol Police." It's not a job that anybody wants.
