as stated in the derby topic i dont believe this policy really prevents kids from drinking. i think kids drink thinking they wont get caught. once they get caught, that can change their mindset they they are untouchable. but, if they are done for the season, what incentive do they have to stop? i am personally opposed to this policy because i do not think "dropping the hammer" on kids should be the goal of punishments. i think changing behavior should be the goal and i think a less severe penalty offering a second chance is better for everyone and is just as likely(if not more) to change the behavior of the student.
