"Some people think alcohol is a stimulant, not a depressant."
"Some drivers mistakenly think that alcohol improves their driving."
"Some people foolishly believe that coffee, a cold shower, exercise, or fresh air

Some Facts About Alcohol:
Alcohol is a drug, and it is a powerful depressant.
You must be of legal age (age depends on the state) to buy or be served any type of
alcohol. In New York State as of December 1, 1985, you must be 21 years old.
Beer and wine are just as potent as hard liquor:
12 ounces of beer = 5 ounces of wine = 1.5 ounces of 80 proof liquor
Alcohol intensifies the effect of tranquilizers, while antihistamines may cause the
effect of alcohol to sharply increase.
Alcohol is involved in:
50% of all traffic fatalities
50% of all murders
33% of all suicides
25% of all other accidents
Blue lights mark special twenty (20) safety telephones, indicated on the map below.
Their use is not restricted to emergencies; however, you can use them to report incidents
or suspicious people, or to ask for assistance or an escort.
At all blue light phones you need to simply push the button and the phone will signal
University Police automatically and direct someone to you.
Additionally, outside the main door of each residence hall there is an access phone
that can be used to dial University Police in an emergency.
