At the risk of sounding like a broken record...
What are the schools' policies towards students who might come into an infirmary or to the ER regarding severe intoxication? Are the students punished for drinking when they're trying to get help? Are the friends who bring them in implicated?
At my undergrad, students were encouraged to call EMS--a University-based service--to transport them to the infirmary to assess their level of intoxication. At my grad school, the student ambulance service transports them to the ER across the street. Both of these are confidential; in all cases, the bill can be sent to the student to ensure confidentiality.
Both schools stress over and over again that the health of the student is more important to them than punishing someone for underage drinking. All students I've experienced--whether or not they are underage, independent or affiliated--feel free using these services.
Both systems appear to be successful.
What are the policies regarding severe intoxication at CU? CSU? UA? Oklahoma? From what I found on their websites--or, actually, didn't find--there is no such emergency service for students.
