A number of college presidents are finally stepping up to tell an inconvenient truth: Prohibition does not work.
No fucking shit. A decent respect for history would have told you clowns that. (You do have history departments at your schools, right?)
You can raise the drinking age, enact draconian laws, speak at meetings to say how evil Old Demon Rum is and all that and you cannot stop people from drinking. You will never stop people from drinking. Whether it was the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of a century ago or the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (which has morphed into a "no drinking, no place, no time" group), you folks are fighting a lost cause. You can make it harder to drink, but people will drink.
I do not know a single person who waited until the legal drinking age to start consuming alcohol. Not a single fucking person. If you know of anyone who did so for any reason other than religious prohibitions, let me know.

We are so stupidly cowed by the panty snifferes and the breath sniffers in this country. Fuck those stupid blue laws, too. I can't buy alcohol on Sunday because why????????
I'm so sick of the stupid concessions we make for such nonsense. I don't see any difference in this kind of thing than I see in making women cover their heads or separating the genders or any of that other religion-based twaddle.
Nine times out of ten, the uni doesn;t even punish the person they catch drinking underage. a 10-buck ticket, or a half-hour class...bullshit. EVERYONE drinks.
