I would think it would work out better if that was reversed. The hard stuff is expensive and it would cost too much to throw a non-beer party. And I would hope most people know if you chug a fifth of vodka, you would be in big trouble.
There is also talk of eliminating the drinking age altogether and letting parents set the rules, but I have a feeling that 50% of the kids of strict 'no drink' parents would rebel and get trashed at college. Then the other idea is to raise the drinking age to 23 so that most college kids couldn't buy alcohol. Mexico tourism in March would go up a lot.
