Queen's had a no beer bottle rule as well.

As far as I know, it's still permitted. I honestly don't think there are as many 18 years olds as we believe. I suspect many of them are taking time off between highschool and university.
Also, it seems like an awful lot of people are driving to the bars. When I was at Guelph, that didn't happen. There were a few reasons; 1) most people didn't have cars 2) most people wanted to drink, so to not get stuck with DD or have to force some else to be DD, everyone split the cost of a cab 3) you could take public transit and it would drop you outside most of the bars 3) you could take the magic bus. The cost was paid for in your tuition, why not use it 4) Boo Radley's (RIP
) and The Palace provided a school bus some nights to take students to the bar. You paid for it in your cover.
My entire time at university I was driven to the bar twice. I just don't understand why people feel they need to drive to the local bar?
ETA: Here's what it says about alochol in residence at Guelph
Can I bring alcohol into residence?
YES. We allow those students of legal drinking age in Ontario to drink in their rooms. Beer must be purchased in single-serving cans. Beer bottles, kegs, mini-kegs, funnels and shooters are not allowed in residence and will be confiscated if found.
Drinking games are also not permitted. This was taken of their Kemptville College site. I couldn't copy and past off the UofG residence handbook because it was in PDF format.
