It seems to be a practice mostly abandoned here after college as a sign of immaturity. Or at least, that's what my New England sensibility says.

Drinking hard alcohol? Really? I'd say drinking beer drops off more after college than hard liquor. I am anecdotal evidence of course, but these days I drink more scotch and less beer.

While I know several people whose drinking habits have followed that trajectory, that's more because they can now afford it than anything else.
