Especially during freshman year, in the row houses, and in the Greek scene.

The row houses would not have been included in this list in the mid-80s. Those were a decidedly non-party scene lifestyle back then.


Yeah things have definitely changed on that front.  Row houses are now seen as the cool place to live for people that don't live in a fraternity or sorority.  It's the most sought after housing, especially for your senior year.  (I was in Haus Mitt, my gf was in French House).  Also, there was a big partying culture at Haus Mitt my senior year, a lot different than my sophomore and junior year housing (FroSoCo and Branner).

2) ...  Actually enforce the alcohol rules that already existed.

What are those these days?
[Stanford rules - not state of California laws]

This is actually funny.  I read that, and I wasn't even sure what the current alcohol rules are on campus (before that post I made, I never really cared or thought about the alcohol policy on campus).  I never drank that much, so I never had to know.  I'd always be the guy asking friends on the way to a football tailgate "are we allowed to walk around on campus holding a beer?" (I think the answer is: yes if you're over 21, no if you're not). 

I asked my girlfriend if she knew what the current rules around alcohol were, and she said she didn't really know either.  She guessed: no drinking if under 21, no drinking during new student orientation week, "open door policy" in the dorms - if you are going to drink, do it with doors open so RAs know, if you're underage and walking around with alcohol outside (especially on a party night) you will get busted by the police and ticketed. 

1) Starting freshman year ... 
2) Starting at the beginning of each new year, for all students.  ...
3) Starting with the 'influencers' ...

Certainly the places to start. The tricky part, of course, is to start doing just what?

By the way, does anyone happen to know if Stanford has released any internal studies concerning the degree of problems at Stanford and how those may have changed over the years?

I couldn't find a study, but I thought they existed.  I thought I heard of some studies coming out in recent years regarding on campus drinking. 

I did find a great summary of alcohol policy at Stanford written by the Daily a couple years ago: http://www.stanforddaily.com/2016/04/06/...versation/

Basically for 60 years, alcohol was completely banned on campus.  And as a result, a lot of the partying went off campus.  (see no evil, hear no evil).
