Here in the States, alcohol consumption is legal for any person over the age of 21. Can HQ punish any brother over the legal age for responsibly enjoying a drink? I would think not. (please note, I did add the word responsibly.)

Well....
Yes they can. Here in Canada the legal drinking age is 18/19 depending on what province you are in. Now all of our rush events must be dry.... yet all the rush can legally go to a bar, hang out at a pool hall, bowling alley, strip club, dance club, or stay in there residence or home. At all of these places they can kick back and enjoy a drink; but not if they come to our rush event. While this may change as now students graduate from highschool a year earlier; that would only apply to first-years.
I will be the first to admit that we have bent the rules about this.... sometimes we allowed the rush to bring there own; or we wrapped up the offical rush event at around 9:30 - 10 and went out to the bar or club.
