I would think it's more the presence of bartenders and (if they are allowing underagers to drink or being lax in IDing) quickly putting the kibosh on anything/throwing out anyone that might get them busted. Trust me, there are some bar concoctions out there that go on special that make everclear seem like water (our one bar had one called Rocket Fuel that lived up to its name).
One of my friends is in her early 30s, was Greek, and told me she NEVER drank beer in college, always mixed drinks. I cannot fathom this. Obviously (at least some) college students have money to blow on hard alcohol on a regular basis.
