...Rules of the Game: Harvard-Yale 2006,” has the potential to be dangerous. I doubt it is intended to be so, because I sincerely believe the College’s primary concern in this matter is the safety and welfare of the undergraduates. Obviously, when abused, alcohol is a health risk. We, the undergraduates, definitely need to demonstrate personal responsibility when drinking alcohol. But considerations should be made for those among us—particularly freshmen, who constitute the majority of alcohol-related admits at UHS—whose inexperience with drinking makes hard liquor a dangerous...
...it’s the Harvard-Yale game, albeit with new, improved College rules for underage drinking, the result of College negotiations with the Boston Police Department (BPD). The College has declared that, this year, students and student groups will no longer be allowed to bring any alcohol to the official tailgate at Ohiri Field; the only source of merriment will be spiked hot chocolate and beer served to students 21 and older with ID at three College-sanctioned stalls.

Instead, drinking will be shifted forwards to pre-game binges in the privacy of student dorms, where underage revelers will likely imbibe as much as they deem necessary to keep them merry throughout the Game. Worse, this kind of pre-gaming will be more common among underclassmen, namely new freshmen with relatively little experience in drinking safely, who are less likely to know their own limits...

Landrigan, also cite an earlier study that found that “human performance” after staying awake for 24 hours is comparable to human performance of those with a blood alcohol content of 0.10 percent; so a resident working a 30-hour shift might, by the end, quite literally be acting drunk...
...Supporting-Head-Assistants-For-Transactions. Pforzheimer House Committee co-chair Katherine S. Wong said that, at Harvard, “hairy situations” arise when Houses choose to support activities over the objections of some students. “HoCo money routinely goes to alcohol, which again, only a certain group of people enjoy and others are opposed to,” she said. But, she added, “where there is a will, there is a way.” —Staff writer Nina L. Vizcarrondo can be reached at nvizcarr@fas.harvard.edu...
