UC does nothing on binge drinking

does that mean stonefest is off??

hahahahahaha. as if

I’d like to see the methodology. I think it was an online voluntary poll.

80% of roommates got soo drunk last night

The whole country’s going to the dogs, we’re being taken over by bible-bashing wowsers. We are getting worse than the yanks, they can still buy beer at servos! Even in Utah.

I miss flattering the BFA resi girls to get free bottles of booze.
Now, I’m not brand-loyal to any of them. And nor do I consider myself a binge drinker.
I do know a few people who were at Wagga who are & do, but they all had severe alcohol problems before they ever met the BFA people.

I am at UC right now, and there is beer in the fridge just a couple of metres from me. I, however, am at work not a student, so I can binge drink as much as I like…

Cultural heritage should definitely be preserved ….

; )

Just because you said ‘hammered’ I felt the need to share this High Court gem. Lots of UC students go on to become lawyers, not so sure about High Court Justices just yet though:

An extract from Joslyn v Berryman –

CALLINAN J: Mr Jackson, it seems to me that clearly the people at the party, including Ms Joslyn and Mr Berryman, went out with the intention of getting drunk.

MR JACKSON: It would be a big night, Your Honour, big night.

CALLINAN J: With the intention of getting drunk and they fulfilled that intention.

MR JACKSON: Well, Your Honour, young people sometimes…

KIRBY J: I just think “drunk” is a label and I am a little worried about — it is not necessary to put that label. It is just that they were sufficiently affected by alcohol to affect their capacity to drive.

MR JACKSON: Yes.

KIRBY J: “A drunk” has all sorts of baggage with it.

HAYNE J: Perhaps “hammered” is the more modern expression, Mr Jackson, or “well and truly hammered”.

MR JACKSON: I am indebted to Your Honour.

KIRBY J: I do not know any of these expressions.

McHUGH J: No, no. Justice Hayne must live a very different life to the sort of life we lead.

KIRBY J: I have never heard that word “hammered” before, never. Not before this very minute.

Students getting on the piss!

Hell, when did that start?

I heard the UC student association president (I think that’s who he was) on Radio Nash this morning disputing the findings. His line was basically – “they’re uni students, they get tanked, that’s what uni students have always done” and then said that the majority (at least half?) of O-week activities didn’t involve alcohol.

I have never studied at UC but have always thought that it had a strong boozing culture. Maybe this is a deterrent to the parents of international students that are starting to flock back to Australia (thanks to the currency fluctuations) that UC needs to boost its coffers?
