Parents have to get a clue and realize the college is not going to shepherd and coddle their little darlings and call them when they are late for class and wipe their noses and tuck them in at night. Teach your kids about alcohol and let them make some mistakes under your roof before you send them out into the world. [/B]

Exactly. I don't see what's so difficult about this concept. Teach your kids how to become reasonably responsible adults before they go to college -- this includes teaching them about drinking. Teaching kids about drinking is far more involved and complex than just saying "Don't do it!"
