Clearly the solution is alcohol education, by which I mean teaching people about the glories of craft beer and properly made cocktails. No one shotguns a Firestone DBA or slams five old fashioned's in a row.

Not to trivialize an important topic at all, but does anyone know if this will impact non-student, pre-game tailgate parties?  We tend to have beer, wine and mixed drinks, and the police have never said anything.  We are old though -- mostly in the "procedure" stage in life per Billy Crystal -- so we don't get very wild. The only way to tell if someone's been binge drinking is if he/she nods off for a bit.  Think anything will change this year?

No, the rules are only for undergrads. Alums and grad students are still allowed to drink bottles of bourbon in the middle of the quad, I believe. I am curious what will happen to the large tailgates that are clearly a mix of alums, grad students and undergrads where these laws would be impossible to enforce.
