Here at Rice, we have a wet campus and an alcohol policy designed with our safety in mind. Students call Rice EMS all the time to be checked out for alcohol-poisoning or drinking too much or whatever. The campus police are never notified, nor are parents. The administration wants us to be comfortable drinking on campus and calling for help if we have too much rather than drinking off campus and driving, or trying to down 15 shots in our rooms 5 minutes before we go out.

Sounds eerily similar to the campus cultures at other schools like Rice - Wash U and Duke. I took a tour of Rice back when I was a HS Senior at an Honors Colloquium and spent a lot of time there as part of a performance group - definitely a lot of pressure there!
ETA: My only "statements" in my post are about similar academic pressures and campus cultures as I have experienced aspects of all three schools. I did not say the policies were similar..... if by quoting RiceLax it seemed to imply that was my "statement", then I am sorry for the confusion.
