It's no secret that college students across the country, whether legal or not, consume alcohol. The buzz around Cabrini's campus is that there is such a day where a lot of the residents on campus drink. That day is "Thirsty Thursday."

While it seems the campus rules of alcohol consumption are incognito, Charlie Schaffner, director of Public Safety, said differently. "Young people here, if they don't know the rules, then they aren't paying attention. There are a number of places where the rules are specified. George Stroud and I talk to all incoming freshmen at orientation and rules are specifically explained to them at that point. Every student is given and can receive the public safety handbook, which specifies the alcohol regulations."

It's evident that some students are cautious about their safety and alcohol intake. "I have to know my boundaries, and not push my limits too far," Mark Martino, business administration major, said. "If I'm at a party, I have to know them, and I know not to lay my drink down."

Well is it safe to say that college students here at Cabrini know the rules and regulations when it comes to alcohol? "I'm sure that the RA staff explains the rules as well. So as far as I'm concerned, there's no excuse. The state law says you cannot drink until you're 21, they all know that," said Schaffner.

"Additionally, they have the opportunity to look online for the student handbook."

Though most of the rules do not pertain to residents on campus who are 21 and over, they still have to worry about going off campus and having a good time drinking. The legal blood alcohol level in Pennsylvania is on its way to being lowered from .10 to .08 in October. According to the Associated Press, the Senate approved the bill and is headed to the House of Representatives for deliberation.

"Though I'm 21 in a dry dorm, it doesn't effect me as much because I go to bars. I always make sure I have a designated driver with me or someway of contacting one," Tyson Ehinger, freshman business major, said.
