Hi, Jenny, and thanks for the comment. I think you’re right: rules must be enforced to be effective. Problem is that kids’ experience tells them that rules about underage drinking are very rarely enforced–or perhaps unenforceable altogether. Statistics also show that underage binge drinking remains very high–at historical highs–even though the law says this should not be happening. So the question boils down to this: should the rules be better enforced with more draconian measures and heavier punishments? Or are the rules inappropriate ways to teach kids about responsible alcohol use? This debate will no doubt continue…what are your thoughts?
Thanks for stopping by!

i dont know i think every college has a house full of drunks that some kids will get dragged into. rules are never followed if they know they wont get caught.
