Such worries are unfounded and out of touch with the spirit of House life. While Stein Clubs implicitly condone the idea of alcohol as a means to stimulate social interaction, they should not overemphasize the need for this social lubricant as justification for serving rum and Coke or vodka screwdrivers. There is no reason why anyone would need drinks with high alcohol content in order to socially connect with other members of their House. In fact, the greater chance of intoxication that comes with drinking hard liquor detracts from the House unity that Stein Clubs are supposed to generate...
Achieving balance between social drinking and intoxication is an issue that Harvard has struggled with over the years. Some of the College’s efforts have been at the cutting edge in this regard: from the establishment of the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Services in recent years to the online alcohol education course for incoming freshmen called AlcoholEdu, to the group of student-leaders known as Drug & Alcohol Peer Advisors.

Things would have been very different. Instead, the Sundquist-Sarafa campaign ran on reforming...
...repeating 'love' all the time," says Stewart, "but that's because he's been through so much." Perhaps that's why he's been worrying lately about the public distress of the Grammy-nominated British singer Amy Winehouse, who has canceled a tour amid rumors of drug and alcohol abuse. "God bless Amy. She's a great talent. And she's going through a situation right now," he says. "It's a very public destruction ... The good news is that there's a lot more help around now than there was." He was happy to read reports that another troubled...
