Current Student Alcohol Use
Students have shown that they can responsibly consume alcohol on
campus through events like CPC’s Happy Hour, Greek Prom, and other
events.
Ibby’s currently serves beer and wine to students who are over 21 years
old who really enjoy the opportunity and behave responsibly.
WashU has given us the autonomy to self-regulate with RedFlag and
trusting the students and letting them be responsible with their alcohol
consumption on campus has become a well-established program.
