Prohibition for college students continues to be a failure. I can't figure out what is keeping such an asinine policy afloat; MADD, or the LE who love the control it gives them to walk into any house or dorm on campus and start questioning people and making MIP arrests.

I remember I was DD for some of my older fraternity brothers one night driving to a party. I helped carry a couple of coolers to the house from the car, and out of nowhere walked a policewoman who had been watching us from behind a tree. She immediately arrested me and gave me an MIP. When I told her repeatedly that I hadn't been drinking and was DD, she told me to shut up or I'd be taken to jail.

Hopefully, as more people with the same experiences become voters, and start to replace people who grew up when it was 18 and don't care anymore, this stupid policy will change.

Yep, let’s just give up and change all kinds of laws simply because no one pays attention to them and enforcing them is hard, anyway.
