<p>I mean, *** is this. I see it on one of my checklists, and it says that all first-year students must take it. By saying "first-years," do they mean ALL new students including transfer students? </p>
<p>I don't want to waste 2 hours of my life just because a few underage punks don't know how to drink responsibly.</p>
<p>C'mon bro, many people have to do it too, You're not alone. It's just for the good for all students.</p>
<p>Im with you, ccmad. And yes, its for transfer students too. Plus, I only have access to a dialup connection, so the "three hour" session has taken 5 hours so far and Im not even done with the second section yet. Fie on Alcoholedu.</p>
<p>You can supposedly "test out" of certain areas. Or opt out by clicking next.</p>
<p>What is it about the course that makes people so mad about taking it? If you know everything there is to know, then it should be a breeze, and 2 hours isn't that much ...</p>
<p>how come i dont see this on my checklist?</p>
<p>Check again: it's new.</p>
<p>it says we need to get 70% to pass. does that count the pre-test at the beginning? or is the pre-test just to see what you know?</p>
<p>Just to see what you know and see which sections you might be able to test out of</p>
<p>yea hmm i dont see it .....is it because im an extension student?</p>
<p>Perhaps, i am not sure. I doubt it, though.</p>
<p>wanted to check the program out so I started it up...gotta love the opening lines:

Welcome to AlcoholEDU...We realize that you may not be thrilled about taking our course. Some students fear it is going to boring or a waste of time...

<p>Oh joy, can't wait to tackle the know-it-all program! ;)</p>
<p>I'm an extension student too and it's not on my checklist, but they emailed me about it, so you should check your calmail.</p>
<p>It's a requirement, so might as well just suck it up and take the test. It would be a great irony though if someone took this test while they were drinking; their excuse? The program is more attractive when they drink. Ahem...bad joke. </p>
<p>You test and opt out in chapter 2.</p>
<p>Haha i just said that line, "would be a great irony though if someone took this test while they were drinking," to my friend!!!</p>
<p>I got your alcohol ed right here -- in otherwords, Andrew takes 5 minutes to be a sanctimonious A.S.S./share what he has learned in three years of collegiate level varsity drinking:</p>
<p>Ten Points:</p>
<ol>
<li>Don't drink so damn much that you puke.</li>
<li>Drink plenty of water before and after you drink booze.</li>
<li>Excessive inebriation is not fun. Know your limits. And for the love of God, don't smoke cigarettes or pot if you are already really intoxicated. </li>
<li>Greasy food helps sop up some of the excess alcohol and slows the drunkening process, but it's not a cure. The only cure is time. But if you felt you drank too much, Top Dog or La Burrita may save you some hurt down the road.</li>
<li>Cold showers = Bad. Bad as in shock. You don't want to go into shock when you are drunk.</li>
<li>Fresh air helps accelerate the sobering process. Or at the very least, makes you feel less sick.</li>
<li>Beer bongs and hard liqour bongs, especially, may be fun but they are generally bad ideas -- especially if you are new to drinking.</li>
<li>Never leave a drink unattended. This is a given. If you leave your beer or cocktail alone -- get a new one. Ladies, follow this one especially.</li>
<li>Fake IDs aren't worth it. </li>
<li>On the morning after, don't walk up to your friends and go: "Dude, I drank so much last night." <em>random prattle</em> "Yea, I had three beers and I blacked out, it was crazy!" ...people like me will laugh at you.</li>
</ol>
<p>...and always, always take that damn test drunk. Haha. Just kidding ;)</p>
<p>i'm gunna take this thing while drunk.</p>
<p>I think your school gets the scores for your test so if you fail them, you'll probably have to retake it ;)</p>
<p>Is this solely to release the school of liability? I find it so enormously absurd...almost as much as that silly diversity thing at CalSO.</p>
<p>You mean you did not enjoy the Time Warp and the wonderful cheer to spell "California"?!?!?!</p>
