The new rule bans alcohol use in any dorm, regardless of the person's age. I think this is a good idea. Why? Alcohol is a major health hazard and we should not be sending a message to young people that it is a good thing to be doing. Just as cigarette smoking has been banned in dorms, it's time to ban alcohol as well. People who want to use or abuse alcohol will still do it, but there will be less of it happening overall.
