Graduated in 85. Drinking age was 21 in my state.

First two years, any student could sign out the dorm lounge and with $40 and the school would provide 1/2 keg of beer, $80 would get you (2) 1/2 kegs, $120 etc.

Spring weekend, not break, First two years $5 wrist band let you drink Friday, Saturday and Sunday, regardless of age. The school provided the beer, and a constant run of bands on 3 alternating stages.

The end of my 2nd year, there was a really bad drunk driving accident with 3 underage students killed, the school stopped sponsoring alcohol at events. They also started enforcing drinking age laws.
