Alcohol Education?

<p>This shows up on my check list of things to do. What is it and how do I complete it?</p>

<p>Here's the link with the info:</p>

<p>it's a boring 3 hour thing on how drinking is bad. pretty entertaining, but common sense stuff if you weren't a shut-in and/or religious fanatic in high school</p>

<p>i never finished it..</p>

<p>i don't remember finishing part 2 or 2nd half or whatever it's called either...</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. Sounds thrilling.</p>

<p>Beatchick: It's not.... :)</p>

<p>One of the biggest wastes of my time in my life. Just turn off the volume and watch TV when doing this. Look at the screen every couple of minutes to see if you need to do something.</p>

<p>When does this need to be done by?</p>

<p>I don't want to get too political here, because Americans sort of get all bent out of shape when you do, but I think having to do something like this pretty damned insulting. If I were going to USC, ok, I might understand the reasoning, but if my friends in France (where I used to live) heard about this, they'd laugh their heads off at how puritanically ridiculous Americans are. We're one of the few countries where you can't drink legally until you're 21, although you can go to war and get killed. And I get stupid emails and letters from the armed forces telling me that they'll pay all my tuition and expenses if I give sign up for 4 years, but there's no UC military avoidance video that I have to take. What's up with that? It's not ok to drink but it's okay to learn how to kill and they can use all the pressure tactics they have on us innocent 18 year olds to get us to sign up while they wave dollar bills in front of our faces? This is so hypocritical I can't even believe it.</p>

<p>Aww, suck it up and deal with it. It's a nuisance, yea. But there are a lot of kids who -do not- have the basic common sense surrounding alcohol.</p>

<p>Beatchick: moving back to France is an option...</p>
