Facts: A fraternity from the University of Arizona gained new members to their organization, on August 27, 1988. The fraternity was accustomed to serving alcoholic beverages to those members who help fund the drinks. A member from the fraternity who was over the age of twenty-one collected as well as held onto the liquor money making sure non-contributing members did not drink at parties. The head officers of the fraternity had personal information on all members and were aware of each individual’s ages. A majority of the members were under the legal drinking age of twenty-one. Despite this fact, all members, regardless of age, could contribute to the fund. Contribution to the fund was the sole criterion to drink during the parties. The fraternity did not check neither members nor non-members for proof of age to attend the party and the parties were usually attended by several hundred people.

Daly, 55 Ariz. 535, 104 P2d 147) as a precedent in which the court held that there is a duty not to provide liquor to a person known to have subnormal ability to control their actions. The similarity comes from the defendants from both the Pratt v. Daly case and the Hernandez v. Arizona Board of Regents, both the defendants from each case argued there was no precedent for such a decision and no common law to sustain the action and that the court would be legislating if it allowed the claim to continue. The difference in the Hernandez case is that their was a minor involved who was given alcohol despite knowing and having data on the minor age and

They are viewed as incompetent to handle alcohol. As we move on, it was decided that an eighteen year old is able to state a cause of action against an adult host who has provided alcohol, yet a defendant may simultaneously say that due to him being eighteen, he has committed contributory negligence since adults can be held liable for any offenses committed. The appellants raised a point claiming that defendant’s had a breached their duty as a landowner, but this was disregarded by the Appellate Court as it was not properly brought up through the pleadings.

Radley Balko’s essay that ingeniously welcomes a protagonist approach towards the menace of underage drinking is abreast of the lifestyles freshmen lead in campus today. Worse still, federal laws are flouted each dawn like never before. Lobby groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving despite providing an oversight on minimum drinking age, seem oblivious of the illicit alcohol consumption in campus. Analytically, minimum drinking age takes prevalence in the papers but is ferociously compromised in other formal and informal settings. Balko notes that there is more to federal laws and protracted oversight if the war on binge drinking is to be contained.

Although this can take a turn when there is no moderation “This accepted behavior sets a dangerous scene for students who may drink in excess for two to three hours before a game, continue drinking during the game and then party even harder when the game is over. Knocking back five drinks in two hours isn’t too difficult to fathom when it’s an all-day event”
