I have gotten drunk (or at least a very good start) on my school's dime on a number of occasions. When I was over 21, pretty much every college function had at least some alcohol available (usually a 3 drinks/person, though some were open bar). And at law school all school functions have alcohol because everyone is old.

One time with my employer, too. My boss at Gettysburg's campus rec took the senior supervisors out for drinks the end of my senior year. Good times.
