Also, the wording of the state law makes a huge difference. NC will lose funds if it makes it legal to sell alcohol to under-21's, but it could freely decide to reform its tort structure to relieve private entities of responsibility for the foolish acts of guests. That would make a gigantic difference in the liability -- and thus the alcohol-friendliness -- of universities and fraternities.
This is a little more likely, especially given the general movement toward tort reform at the national level.

So in English (har) if you get drunk at a bar and crash your car you can't sue the bar?
Could a law, or tort or something, get around the federal highway funding act by making underage drinking less of an offense, comparable to say, a parking ticket?
