<p>Is New Jersey's drinking age enforced by the eating clubs? Where I live, the drinking age is 19 de jure, 16 de facto, so I hope I will not be denied free beer until my junior year.</p>
<p>…you wont. Its college.</p>
<p>It may sound like a stupid question, but someone in one of the eating club threads said that drinking age limits are observed at the parties.</p>
<p>There is the official policy, and then the reality- underage students generally just get their cups with beer or punch from 21 year old friends at the same parties.</p>
<p>You do not need to worry about having a hard time acquiring beer when you’re out on the Street. This I can promise you.</p>
<p>Wow, there’s underage drinking at Princeton?.. I thought the students there were above that level.</p>
<p>Are there drug addicts at Princeton as well?</p>
<p>^I would expect there would be drug addicts everywhere. Underage drinking is not that serious compared to some things, and it’s not exactly a rare phenomenon.</p>
<p>Saugus, ur insanely naive. “above that level”? how arrogant and stupid. go get a life. got news for ya, harvard kids drink too along with yale and everywhere else.</p>
<p>good old Canada eh Mustafah?
apparently there’s a special brand of free beer that everyone gives out on the Street, can’t remember the name off the top of my head though</p>
<p>the beer is the Beast - Milwaukee’s Best</p>
<p>Do people actually have to bother getting people who are 21 to ‘give’ them their beer parties? Are institutional authorities really that ubiquitous at parties and/or that harsh? This is something that would really bother me, if this is the case then I have it easier now in high school than I would in college, which is really sad IMO.</p>
<p>@Saugus: There are very few real drug addicts. Recreational drug users tend to congregate in Terrace (and Ivy, to a lesser extent).</p>
<p>@Mustafah: Lol well here it’s 21 de jure and 18 de facto.</p>
<p>@HarvardHopeful: Normally that is not the case. At the moment, you would have to do that at Tower, but that’s only because a bunch of their kids got sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning during initiations and they might end up in court. Actually, a good rule of thumb is this: if you need to bother ppl over 21 at a certain club for beer, chances are that club has been having legal problems with regard to serving minors.</p>
<p>i remember reading about Tiger Inn gettting in trouble last year, are they a little laid back again or still strict?</p>
<p>and can we get a confirmation on the Milwaukee’s Best?</p>
<p>I am 95% sure that Saugus was being sardonic. If he/she was NOT, then I feel deeply sorry for him/her, because he/she must’ve lived a painfully sheltered life.</p>
<p>@visionquest: I had great difficulty walking home after a recent night at TI and I’m not 21 yet, so no worries. Idk why you want a confirmation on Milwaukee’s Best 'cuz it kinda sucks but yea. Natty Light is common too. Every now and then they’ll serve good stuff like Magic Hat #9, Yuengling, or Guiness. And it’s also pretty common for there to be a members-only mixed drink sitting in a cooler behind the bar.</p>
<p>Are all of the eating clubs big on parties, or is it mainly the bicker ones? From what I gather, the bicker clubs party harder.</p>
<p>@hookem168</p>
<p>No, I wasn’t mocking his question, I was being dead serious. I don’t live a sheltered life, I hear kids at my school talking about drugs and alcohol every day and saw a bag full of cocaine taken out yesterday. </p>
<p>But, generally at my school, the top students are far away from those substances and refrain from illegal activities. And only a few of the top students at my school will even get into good schools.</p>
<p>I’m not really all that surprised, but it still seems weird to me that there’s still a problem like underage drinking at Princeton.</p>
<p>Oh my god! I’m really sad that there is drinking at the Ivies 
I really didn’t know they did that type of stuff. I hope they don’t smoke marawanna too because maybe I don’t want to go to them anymore. I’m conflicted.</p>
<p>if you dont wanna go to the ivies becuase of alcohol where will you go to escape it?</p>
<p>that doesn’t make sense people. Of course there is alcohol, its college, but you dont have to be a drinker to be part of the princeton social scene.</p>
<p>I feel like if I go, they will force me to drink or even smoke cokane or something crazy like that! I’m just nervous and I’ve been homeschooled. Maybe I should just stay homeschooled.</p>
