In order to form a middle ground in the argument, we are proposing that campuses provide supervised “wet zones” for ages 18 and above. These zones could possibly take the form of a campus bar or a club that is sponsored, staffed, and monitored by the college it would reside in. These areas could then allow students to buy cheap alcohol while still getting a party feel and being safe. They could even potentially be self sufficient with that exact income it produces or may also provide as a source of income for the University supporting it. These “wet zones” would however have strict rules to provide student safety.
These guidelines would include: prohibiting fighting within the “wet zone” limits thus keeping them away from harm within the crowd, if you do not live on campus you would have your keys taken at the door and would have to provide a designated driver before getting them back reducing the risk of students getting DUI’s or having DUI related accidents, there would be strict cutoff limits on how much you could buy per night greatly reducing the risk of alcohol poisoning, and you would be escorted back to your dorm by a supervisor with only the people you arrived with reducing the risk of sexual assault while on the way to one’s dorm or after arriving at the dorm.
