Yale to add alcohol director
It’s not a czar: It’s an educator.
That about sums up the University’s vision for Yale’s first-ever director of alcohol and substance abuse initiatives, a new Dean’s Office post the University is trying to fill by fall 2009. The director, administrators said, will be tasked with centralizing the University’s broad but scattered resources for drug and alcohol education while working to raise awareness of and challenge misperceptions about substance abuse on campus. Although the Dean’s Office has yet to define many of the specifics of the new post’s portfolio, in interviews...
Alcohol is a depressant it slows function of the central nervous system. Alcohol actually blocks of the messages trying to get the brain. This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.

All these stories about underage drinking, and the hissy fits the Mad Mothers have, remind me of my experiences at Pierson in the fall of '65.
Pierson College served beer at parties, and nobody thought a thing of it. I was clear that we were expected to behave responsibly in this regard as in all others.
Have expectations been reduced so much?
