There’s no denying it—in the past twelve months, it has become considerably more difficult (and expensive) to throw a party at Harvard College. From the suspension of the party grant program to a ban on hard liquor at House stein clubs, College administrators have taken it upon themselves to standardize—or suffocate—social life at Harvard. But one new policy in particular—a rule that holds student group leaders responsible for those who become intoxicated at any point during their social events—has not only raised...

At Yale’s all-day tailgate last year, where enforcement against underage drinking was comparatively lax, police officers issued only...

Lawmakers apparently didn't think drunken voting would be a problem either, figuring they addressed it by restricting Election Day liquor sales until after the polls close. They hadn't anticipated what early voters might do. Because the woman passed out before inserting her ballot into an electronic tabulator, her vote will be hand-counted.
