Being Helpful

Today's 'Perspectives' section of the Denver Post had an article titled "Drinking on Campus -What We Can do to Make a Difference." Immediately my ever-active mind started formulating ideas. Here's a few:

Give tax breaks to liquor stores near campus.
Provide shuttle service to bars and nightclubs.
Give tuition breaks to students who host keggers.
Allow liquor stores to deliver on-campus.
Give scholarships to students who invent new shots.

And most importantly, get the drinking age back to eighteen years. Let's make up our minds, are eighteen-year-olds adults or not?

So then I read the article, and it turns out the author wants to limit drinking on campus. Was I ever disappointed.

Here was my thought...

Drinking 101

(Fri 8-11pm; prereq. 18yrs old)

Students will explore the dynamics of alcohol consumption, including changes in social interaction with different quantities. Students will also learn how to choose drinks for different occassions, and to avoid dangerous mixes and bingeing. Final exam will involve drinking for 3 hours straight without being socially inept, and successfully treating your hangover.

Hmmm, what department would that fall under?
