...showed that an enriched environment made drug use less likely. I think from human research we can say clearly that enriched environments reduce all kinds of addictions, not just to drugs or alcohol," says Alexander, author of The Globalization of Addiction and designer of Rat Park...

The two parties will be used as a barometer to test the effectiveness of the fund at providing resources for safe, medium-sized parties where alcohol may be served, a combination for which students have been clamoring.
