Whilst I’m under no illusions that the entire American undergraduate population is unaware of the effects of a bottle of beer—or two (I have watched Dawson’s Creek)—I can’t help but feel that this law must detract from some entertainment.

(Many of these warehouses will be demolished in coming months to make way for more space-efficient high-rises).
