...Boston police apparently decided that we had all had enough, and, without warning, shut down the beer distribution tents. Neither those selling wristbands nor the bartenders were warned of the shutdown, which was earlier than the publicly announced closure time—half-time of the game. Some students paid $5 for beers they were then not allowed to buy—but tough luck: no immediate refunds. (According to Campus Life Fellow John T. Drake ’06, refunds will be given today at University Hall, which will be little help for those undergrads who have already left...
...shambolic organization of the whole event—over-managing students, and failing to manage drink distribution—turned what should have been the best party of the year into a well-policed children’s playground, complete with moonbounces. Arbitrarily shutting down beer tents and yelling at students might work in the short-run, but if it becomes the norm, students will learn quickly that they have to buy and down their beers quickly—before the police get wind of it—or just not bother to come in the first place...
...logistics were not the only problem.

The captions for such photos usually involve the phrase “OMG was so EFFIN’ trashed DO NOT REMEMBER THIS AT ALL,” or something along those lines. This sort of thing has always puzzled me. What is the value in that pre-hangover photo, and what memory does it preserve...
...culture was like, what it was like to fight in these wars, the painful things that he'd seen, the love he has for Africa and the bitterness he has as well," says DiCaprio. And that's not all he learned. "They drink a hell of a lot of beer and Jgermeister," says the star, no wimp in the party department, with a chuckle. "That was their hard-core drink of choice: flaming Jgermeister shots, which I can't hang with...
