When is a drink not a drink?

The above photo is supposedly a smart ass response to a reprimand from a fraternity’s leaders. As a result they decided to self-impose a one drink limit for tailgating. The administration at Northeastern University doesn’t want it’s kids to follow down a similar path. So they’ve written out a set of alcohol basics for it’s students. The school breaks down how much of liquor, wine, beer, etc. is considered to be a drink. They have even provided a diagram of how much of each liquid in a Solo cup counts as a “drink”. For a school, this is actually pretty realistic advice as opposed to a strict “no alcohol” hide your head in the sand approach. Of course, I always advise to fill the liquor up to the first major indention (their wine line) when mixing a drink.
