Just as a point of comparison for you yanks--this is an excerpt from my university's drug and alcohol policy (note the lack of harshness):

The University's specific alcohol policy is therefore designed to: reduce demand (through the provision of information and education); to reduce supply (through regulation and application of State and Federal laws); and to provide environmental responses that assist people using drugs to do so in the safest possible manner toward themselves and others (see Rumbold & Hamilton 1998) . Finally, the University will support problem users and those wishing to stop using drugs with appropriate health and social service responses within its capability and authority (see clause 4 below).

Oh yeah: apparently the two finger salute means #4 here in Australia--oops!
