Mech E Happy Hour
Last night we had our semesterly Mech E happy hour at the local bar. We were there from 6-8 and they spent $1800 on beer for about 75 people. At the end, the head of the department was drunk, doing shots with us, and howling. He's in his 60's and was hitting on the 20 year old ladies and they were loving it......when I'm his age and can do that, I've had a good life(he also did a 60 second keg stand on his 60th birthday). Nothing like getting drunk with your profs and having them tell you that you need a beer in your hand when your hands are empty.

Hilarious . Hey us ME's can have some fun lol. Did the profs get the bill? Oh I go drinking with my professors every week and they always cover the bill hehe. Back in the day before I got there, those guys (who have national recognition) were dancing on top of tables in the Pub.

This guy is very smart but he can sure put down the beer. The funny thing is that they didn't even bother to card anyone, they just started handing out beers at the bar. If someone wanted to be a dink, they could have gotten in so much trouble but they were making so much money off us, they didn't care.
Re: (gabossie)
The issue goes beyond who pays. The event was sponsored by the school; i.e. the school encouraged and ok'd it. A student (laywer) could claim that the student didn't want to be left out or seem odd and, following the example of his elders (those who dish out the grades/impact their future) drank a bit too much and ran a stop sign. Criminal act, no, but there's potential for a civil suit.Maybe state law makes a difference, but there were big changes at my shool regarding such functions exactly becuase of things that happened and liability issues. A social function like that would be strictly a social function. I.e., an invitation or an email could not say something like, "M.E. Dept invites you to dinner at Professor Brainiac's place". And academic groups/fraternities could no longer do things as groups and fraternities (tied to the school in any way). Initiation week for Pi Tau Sigma was terminated.gabossie wrote:No way, the person who buys you beer can not be held responsible for your actions that are a result of the cunsumption, that would be rediculous. Sounds like fun though. A 60 second keg stand??? I hang out with some people that do alot of drinking and they top out in the mid 20 second range!
