<p>Is this stupid thing actually required? I find it extremely obnoxious because it takes three hours to do. What happens if you don't do it?</p>
<p>Yes it’s required. If you don’t do it, they may place a hold on your account. </p>
<p>Honestly, suck it up and watch the dang videos, or just browse the internet while they’re playing and then take the quizzes. Even though I spent much of the summer before college reading books on the sociology of adolescent/collegiate drinking, I still found AlcoholEDU fairly interesting, albeit extremely corny. It’s useful to know what to do when a peer has had way too much to drink (even though Emory isn’t a party school, this is a somewhat frequent occurrence), what constitutes normal versus abnormal undergrad behaviors, and what the actual stats are on college drinking/drug use.</p>
