You are absolutely right. If you have ever visited countries where drinking ages are lower (and some they are almost non-existent), you can very plainly see that the native people of that country don't look for a great way to party and drink on Friday night. They've been brought up in an atmosphere that taught them to drink responsibly. Their perception of alcohol is COMPLETELY different than ours, and the result is that they are (generally) more responsible.
I've already stated how I feel about dry houses, for those of you who missed that:
If you can't treat your OWN brothers/sisters like the adults they are, what does THAT tell the campus? Implement positive and proactive policies regarding drinking, educate, set realistic goals and limits, etc. But don't just step in and say "We're going to completely ban drinking from any and all activities and events, regardless of your legal right to decided for yourself if you want to drinkor not."
