Underage Drinking at College
"What is college about?" is a question that many people ask when the time comes toconsider what one wants to do with the next four years of their life. One popular answer mightbe, "One giant party!!". This notion is notable almost instantaneously once someone hasentered the college atmosphere. One could also note how easy it is to obtain the most popularparty favor, alcohol. And one could also point out where most of the alcohol is coming from,fraternities. Fraternities are notorious for their drinking and partying and it's no surprise thatmany of the people partying with them are minors who are illegally drinking at almost all of thefunctions.

Being a student myself I have noticed how readily available the alcohol actually is. Since the only way to identify minors is by theX's on their hands it is relatively easy for them to just walk into the bathroom and wash themright off and then no one knows the better anyway. The positive aspect of all this is that itdoesn't require very much funding to get the results desired.
