Surely, one way to stop illegal drinking is to enforce the existing laws. Universities shouldn't shield their students from the consequences of their choices.
Some UGa (reeling from the death of SAE Lewis Fish) stats from 2005:
Binge drinking within past two weeks:
Nationwide: 48.5%
UGA: 60.6%
Missed class due to booze/drugs:
Nationwide: 33%
UGA: 53.4
Have driven under the influence:
Nationwide: 30.5%
UGA: 36%
Athens police chief: "Now, if we have underage students found with alcohol, we no longer give them citations. They are put in a paddy wagon and taken to jail."
UGa spokesman: "Now, we are ... arresting kids and taking them to jail."
The newspaper editorial concludes: "... the University has yet to ban legal drinkers (incl. football tailgaters and students) from carrying open containers on campus."
