<p>When living in Brown, are you supposed to abstain from ALL drinking, even in other parts of campus, or is the rule just that no illegal substances are allowed in the dorm?</p>
<p>east is a dry campus, so there is never supposed to be any alcohol on east. that said - there is, except in brown. you aren't even supposed to be inside of the building if you're wasted. i would advise to make some good friends who don't live in brown and make sure they have a comfy funton. the best way to understand brown is that it is a SUBSTANCE FREE ZONE. many people in brown take that seriously. now....that being said....there are some brownies who drink/smoke/etc. so if you want to do that stuff, you probably won't be alone.</p>
<p>Yeah, 99% of the time I am an abstainer, but occasionally having a drink is necessary to be social, ya know? So I was just curious. I am def not the type to show up in a substance free dorm completely wasted.</p>
<p>whatever floats your boat...i did know at least one person last year (from brown) who went out partying on a regular basis. just incase you're wondering....it would not be the 1st time. there a a bunch of people who are forced into substance-free housing by their parents (who presumably want to smother them till their dying day) and go out anyway.</p>
