And let's be realistic - all that would happen is that it would go underground. When I was an RA my attitude was that I would tolerate underaged drinking as long as people kept their doors open. When people close their doors and try to hide the drinking, that's usually when the problems start.

That's funny.  When I was a frosh in 1981, the rule at SCU was literally the opposite.  You could only drink behind closed doors, but the RA was obliged to bust you if your door was open.  Sort of "don't-look-don't-tell" for college drinkers.  And BTW, I agree with your stance 100%.
