The Great Satan: Alcohol


Speaking of beer, you all know that the drinking age is 21 in the US. What you might not know, is that the so-called fraternities, that have such fancy names as “Kappa Sigma”, “Alpha Xi Omega” and other “Beta Gamma Tau” take their Greek names pretty much as an excuse for the organization of Roman Orgies. So basically, undergrad studies is quite commonly seen as a way to get drunk on your parents’ money. This explains all these weird signs that you have pinned all around, on “how to recognize someone who is drunk”, “the myths about alcoholism”, or “the numbers of alcoholism” (they say that more students die every year of alcoholism than the number of students that get a PhD). In San Diego, the sign says that “95% of the UCSD students believe that it is wrong to pressure a date into drinking to improve chances of having sex”. This is the land of civilization and self-responsibility.
