Since drinking at 19 is against the law, I disagree with "creating a safe environment where drinking can occur."
Though I do agree with amensty, shuttles to events, etc.
If you tell a 19 year old kid they can't drink, do you think that'll stop them?
The best thing that colleges can do is to help create a safe environment where drinking can occur. Yes, that probably means that there will be casualties. However, making it 'against the rules' as opposed to trying to limit and control risk behavior is just like closing your eyes and hoping the problem goes away.
