Trinity University Alcohol Coalition: Fall 2006 Report |
| In the fall, 2006, the Alcohol Coalition met several
times and achieved the following: 1. Reviewed anonymous survey information from Dr. Richard Reams about the behaviors of students on their 21st birthdays. In short, based on responses from 85 men and 127 women, we learned: - 20% of men and 3% of women reported consuming 21 or more drinks, sometimes spread out over several days. - 27% of men and 44% of women reported consuming 0 to 4 drinks. - By far, the most common negative consequences were hangover (39% of M, 29% of W), nausea and/or vomiting (25% of M, 14% of W), and blackout (27% of M, 14% of W). 2. Met with Becky Spurlock, Director of Campus & Community Involvement to discuss risk management policies related to alcohol and student organizations. 3. Reaffirmed the three tenets of the Trinity philosophy on alcohol: - we acknowledge that students will drink alcohol; - we care deeply about student health and safety; - and we will enforce policies and support laws related to alcohol use. The three tenets can seem at times mutually exclusive, or in perfect harmony with one another. The Coalition will continue to make efforts to bring these principles in line. The group was pleased with the creation of the Association of Student Representatives safe ride voucher program and with the openness of the Campus & Community Involvement staff to consider input on Risk Management policies. 4. Refined the objectives of the alcohol policy (now posted on the Trinity Alcohol page). 5. Listened to a presentation by local attorneys about laws and procedures related to Minors in Possession (and Consumption), Driving Under the Influence, and Driving While Intoxicated.
