I certainly agree that CBL is useful, and the system as a whole is riddled with inefficiencies and perverse incentives.

However, I think a lot of the problem there is actually a matter of cultural context. Prior to entering college, those undegrads learned that drinking is something fun grownups are allowed to do, whereas listening to the teacher and doing homework are trials to be either grimly endured, or minimized by good behavior in other areas.
