The United States Congress passed and the President signed into law the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989-Public Law 101-226 on December 12, 1989. This Act requires an institution of higher education to certify that it has adopted and instituted a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students, faculty, and staff. The conditions for meeting these certification requirements include the following provisions: 1. All institutions of higher education must provide annually, in writing, to faculty, staff, and students a statement declaring: a. Standards of conduct that prohibit unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on University property or in connection with University activities; b. An institutional commitment to impose sanctions against students, faculty, and staff who violate such standards of conduct; c. Appropriate legal sanctions under local, state and federal law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol; d.

    81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book We thank you for your purchase of our Beer Bong. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to provide you this free E-Book loaded with 81 drinking game ideas. This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

Contact: [email protected] PLEASURE, AGENCY, SPACE AND PLACE: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF YOUTH DRINKING CULTURES IN A SOUTH WEST LONDON COMMUNITY By Laura Kelly Barnett Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT Media, government and public discourse in the UK associate young drinkers as mindless, hedonistic consumers of alcohol, resulting in young people epitomising ‘Binge Britain’. This preoccupation with ‘binge’ drinking amplifies moral panics surrounding youth alcohol consumption whereby consideration of the social and cultural nuances of pleasure that give meaning to young people’s excessive drinking practices and values has been given little priority. This sociological study explores how young drinkers regulate their drinking practices through levels of agency which is informed by values linked to the pursuit of pleasurable intoxication alongside friendship groups in a variety of drinking settings.

  • Losers' Night out by James J Cartwright 772 E Tujunga Ave Unit E Burbank CA, 91501 443.417.8097
    Losers' Night Out by James J Cartwright 772 E Tujunga Ave Unit E Burbank CA, 91501 443.417.8097 EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE - DAY A gorgeous house rests above an expansive front lawn; the greenest grass, landscaped beautifully. A gaggle of girls in flowing evening dresses pour out the front door; they giggle and laugh. From the side a tidal wave of parents. Over enthusiastic fathers snap pictures rapidly. Suddenly, a gang of well dressed boys in tuxedos flank the crowd. The boys playfully punch and wrestle with one another mocking each other’s groomed appearance. Pairs of boys and girls exchange corsages and boutonnieres as flashes continue to light up the front yard. The sounds on an old vehicle and rock music rattle in the distance. EXT. STATION WAGON A rusty, wooden paneled Station Wagon rolls down the quiet neighborhood; music blasts from inside. The car looks days away from retirement. BART (V.O.) Hold up, Stop the car! The Station Wagon screeches to a halt. INT. STATION WAGON The four passengers inside slam into the seats/dashboards in front of them. The car is occupied by four young males. BART WARBURTON (18), shaggy, unkempt rides in the back seat behind the passenger side. He wears his signature solid green army jacket and dark t- shirt. BART Gavin what was that? DERRICK WINTERS (17) riding shot gun, turns his attention to the driver. The most simple dressed of the group; it’s a safe bet that Derrick shops primarily at Target. 2.
