Nor do I. Tell me how having a beer while watching the Orioles play baseball at Camden Yards on a hot summer night has anything to do with “... drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties...”?

So, sometimes I get so wrapped up in the intracises of philosophy that I answer a simple question with a booklet. Sorry bout that...

The answer is simple, for you to drink a beer watching the game is not a problem at all. For you to do in public with your students while they throw a kegger for the game IS a problem, you condone their behavior for they see the issue as simply drinking, and miss the point entirely about "...sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties... Which is perhaps a rather precise description of undergrad parties don't you think?

Don't know if you have been there, but college students don't come together to "have a beer" and watch the game, the game is the last thing on their minds after the first couple of beers.

Agreed, but the school rules prohibit not just the 2nd scenario, but also the first. You do recognize that, right?
