Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3171674, member: 7631"] I was in graduate school in the 80's when the Federal government began really enforcing the 21-year-old drinking age, including withholding funds from universities that didn't enforce it. A lab-mate of mine hung out with some undergrads and went to a party in a freshman dorm. The RA checked in periodically. So the kids had a keg in a CLOSET, and a guard outside the closet door. So kids would go into the closet, suck down as much beer as possible directly from the tap, and come out when the coast was clear. My friend said he'd never seen a group as spitfaced as those. I like the idea of keeping it all in the open and responsible, but then I'm reasonable, which will get me nowhere. There's no way to make them irresponsible more quickly than to make it verboten and force it behind closed doors. [/QUOTE]
