Beyond these ephemeral pluses and minuses at this year’s particular tailgate lies a chronic problem that will continue to plague future tailgates: alcohol policy. There is no question that some serious miscommunications between the Dean’s Office, the Undergraduate Council and BPD over expected attendance levels and alcohol policy led to some of BPD’s post-Game flare-up. Captain Evans seemed shocked by the perceived omnipresence of hard alcohol. “People were just carrying jugs around with Jack Daniels, vodka and tequila,” he said. But the presence...
Evans and BPD are far from seeing eye to eye with the College with regards to alcohol policy, and the division will surely deepen with time. Without question, the College’s main priority is student safety, and taking the most pragmatic, sensible (and legal) steps it can to ensure that safety.

Researchers surveyed the drinking habits of 2,200 Americans and found that the younger their subjects were when they had their first drink, the more likely they were to abuse alcohol as adults. The scientists were even able to quantify the risk: for every year earlier that an adolescent starts imbibing, the chances of becoming a problem drinker increase 12%. They also found that kids who begin drinking as teens are more likely to become seriously intoxicated during routine drinking episodes...
