I hate to say this - and I'm sure I'll get called out for it, but whatever.
The difference is that in Iowa City, if an underage kid is caught with alcohol, they are written up. Regardless of how stupid they were being. I've seen people ID'd and ticketed walking down the street carrying a 12 pack.
In Ames, the police are quite a bit easier on that sort of thing.
