Do university in the States not teach their students about alcohol poisioning? Alcohol training is a mandatory part of Student Orientation here - for all students regardless of age. I was taught the signs of alcohol poisioning the first day I was on campus. Full alcohol education (including the Bacchus position and poisoning avoidence) was provided later that week. For a university that strong refuses the "university as parent" role - the level of education we receive on alcohol is surprising.
When I read about these, I always get the sense it is ignorance that causes these deaths .... If only they "knew" better.
Legal or not, we almost never charge for underage drinking on campus. The campus police might give the person a talking to and ban them from the campus bars until a year after their legal, but that's it. Use it as a teaching moment and move on.
