The whole point is that the colleges are saying the law makes those incidents MORE likely anyway, so if they were worried about lawsuits they would be more likely to want the age limit lowered. Whether or not it was legal for the student to be drinking wouldn't have any effect on a parents' ability to school the school.</p>
