You seem to be under the misimpression that all college students are into alcohol. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

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?[/quote]

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.
