I don't think most people are against alcohol, nor what you're discussing, the responsible, ocassional drinker. If you're referring to what Ilana wrote, and I can't speak for her, it seems that she expresses a disappointment in others fixation on alcohol, when others go to elaborate lengths to obtain alcohol to the detriment of other planned/planning activities.
Your first comment though : "I am really tired of logging onto Livejournal and seeing everyone complain about people's use of alcohol in college...and I'm tired of people saying how terrible it is." I don't know you're school, nor your social circle, so I can't say whether you have a safer environment. But here, we've already had more than a dozen sexual assaults, some of them rapes, a shooting, and a drunk driving crash, all of these alcohol-related. And if rapes, shootings, and death aren't things to be concerned about, to feel like they affect you when they go on around you or to people you know, then what can we write about to relieve the stress alcohol use heightens? And where can we write about it?
it's crazy to harp on trying to figure out how to break the law just for the sake of a little booze...is that worth compromising a lot of other things?

Just kidding. Even Michigan has had an alcohol related shooting and stabbing.
