Without a delicious abundance of keg beer to wash down our pre-game breakfast this Saturday, my budget-conscious friends and I have decided to bring two trusty alternatives out of retirement. After all, a handle of grandpa’s cough syrup and a case of some beasty brew will rev us up for this year’s beat down of Yale just as well as a few pints from the tap.

It may prove to be a warning shot in a more pivotal battle over the definition of responsible drinking...
