You seem to be under the misimpression that all college students are into alcohol.

NP. You’re out of your mind. This kid (adult!) has alcohol. He’s not disturbing the roommate with it. Liberty would be a good school for him.

Not 21. Not legal. Against school rules. He is disturbing his roommate, as OP said they have to leave the room to study when he's boozing it up and to not be implicated violation of law and school policy. And maybe they are at Liberty? Maybe they are a private college with strict alcohol rules and codes of ethics that are actually enforced.

Why can't people understand that some kids don't want to get kicked out of school? How privileged you must be to not get that this is a serious concern for many students.

Because you don't get kicked out of school for having alcohol as a minor.

Well, your assumption is wrong.

My roommates were horrified at the idea but they were the ones who ended up getting drunk all the time and couldn't hold their liquor worth a damn and caused problems for me when all I wanted was to either sleep or study. So who was the problem, me or them?

What does this have to do with OP's kid's issue?

Did you attend a school that prohibited alcohol in the room unless all roommates were 21, and your underaged roommates had a case of vodka in there anyway?

You did at my college. You did at my niece's college. You do at my son's college. Lots of posters are posting about room inspections and having to hide alcohol. Why would you have to hide it? Because it isn't permitted.

Why should a kid who doesn't want it in the room have to take that risk at all?

Spoiler: your kid is probably not a teetotaler.

Without an alcohol related incident, I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU.

Colleges would be kicking out 3/4 of the freshman and sophomore classes.

Umm...what planet are you from? Of course you can. My kid watched it happen on their floor freshman year. Some really stupid kids who got caught more than once having parties with alcohol in their room (right near the RA room)---as I said some really stupid kids.

if you are under 21, it's illegal. If you do things so that you get caught with it, you might get a warning the first time and 2nd or 3rd time you will get kicked out at many schools. The key is to not be stupid.

This 1000%. It is illegal, many colleges have policies that they can search your room, fridge, bags, university furniture, etc. At one kid's U, there are 4 levels of "alcohol issues". The lowest gives you a $50 and warning with first violation, $100 and Probabtion with 2nd and 3rd gets you suspended. The next 3 levels (and one of them is "hosting a gathering with alcohol in the dorm that involves alcohol with more than the residence in the room---so if in a triple, you can't have more than 3 people or you hit this level---so a party) involve a fee and probation for first offense, and fee and suspension at 2nd offence.

My kid knew 2 stupid kids who were gone before Nov freshman year---in a triple and the 3rd member of that room basically lived on the futon in my kid's triple down the hall until those 2 were kicked out. Now the 3rd member definately drank freshman year, but they didn't do it in their dorm room, because that is stupid. Hosting parties in a freshman dorm (where nobody is 21) will get you noticed and kicked out. There are plenty of upperclassmen homes/apartments/frats with parties where you are safe.

College kids drink. Smart ones do NOT host drinking parties in the dorms. They go to frat parties and off campus houses to party/drink. As long as you do that, you can typically safely store a bottle or two of alcohol in your room and be fine. As long as you keep it hidden and don't host parties/drink in the dorm and get loud because of it.
I know this, my kid definately had alcohol in the dorm fresh/soph year. They preferred (as most females do) to mix their own drinks in the room and take it in a covered tumbler to the parties.
Smart kids know how to drink and not get kicked out of school. And typically that involves not hosting parties in the dorm.
