UCPD officers are told not to cite students for drinking.

by who? Who has the power to override state laws? This is why campus police need to be abolished and a real police department open substations there.

No big surprise. Liberal weenies don't know how to drink, never have been any good at it.

Berkeley = liberals, what idiots they already start out with a deficit of brain cells and then they deliberately destroy more?

One has to be a heavy drinker to keep voting for commie DemocRATS.

Getting drunk, getting high, it’s all in vogue now. It’s cool again. Tune in, turn on, drop out.

I was in an ER that was overcrowded so I didn't get my own room but just one of those beds with curtains all around them. I was there for a particularly horrible migraine. The girl next to me was a college student, drunk as anything, they were testing for alcohol poisoning and for other injuries because she had fallen down a hill. She'd go from being completely passed out to crying that her parents would be mad, she went to college to far away from home, her classes were hard,her new friends sucked, and the always famous “I'll never do this again.” My head was pounding. Not a fun night.

With that being said, why doesn't UCal have it's own ambulance service? I know the two major colleges around me — one with 20,000 students one with 8,000— both have their own EMS.

Binge drinking Kool Aid at Berkeley is nothing new... I am tellin ya... that red food dye is no good... and it’s just sugar water to boot!

Student drinking at Cal taxes Berkeley paramedics

How can that be? Just how much does this student drink?
