When it comes to alcohol policy, university officials (and law enforcement, for that matter) across the country generally fall into two camps: pragmatists and puritans. Pragmatists believe that resistance to student alcohol consumption is futile. College students are bound to drink no matter how high the penalties—better to do what you can to promote responsible drinking habits and provide safe environments for students to drink. Puritans, in contrast, take a dimmer view of underage alcohol consumption. The law says underage students shouldn’t touch fire water, and those who do will get burned...

And by promoting beer, I don’t mean selling off the sponsorship of the Harvard-Yale festivities to Miller Brewing Co., but rather avoiding policies which create inherent incentives for students to swap beer for hard liquor...
These types of proposals are mired in what I’ll dub “realism.” They are based upon the assumption that students will drink (some even to the Ted Kennedy or Boris Yeltsin levels) and, therefore, attempt to find ways to keep the risk of overconsumption, or alcohol poisoning, to a minimum...
