Prohibition!

[winryweiss]

Today, alcohol prohibition was announced in my country!
I am not kidding.
There is a nasty case of methanol poisoning from adulterate alcohol all around my country (19 deads so far), so every alcoholic beverage above 20% volume is banned.
But still ...
Still ...
A Prohibition!
Even if it is not complete ban of everything alcoholic.
This is ... astonishing beyond believe.

This is pretty remarkable. What a situation - I absolutely love to drink, and I'm not too shy to admit I really adore high-proof stuff in moderation (sort of ;P). I honestly don't know how I would react if something like this were to happen in the US. Especially in my town, I live in what was at one point the top party campus in the nation. I know a lot of drunk students who would not be pleased! Really sad to hear of the deaths, though.

Those deaths are horrible, but the overall situation is sidesplitting.
I mean, prohibition.
(Momma, will there be those fella with sub-machine guns in stylish clothing?) Hell yes!
I still can't get over it.

Top party campus in the nation, huh? I pretty well know this feeling. In my city is the second oldest university in Czech. Lots and lots of students. And lots and lots of pubs and bars.

My college is called one of the "driest college campuses," but that's partially a lie. The alcohol presence on campus is not too visible on the outside, but a lot of the juniors and seniors have their own little alcohol stashes in their rooms. I know a couple are binge drinkers but overall most of them can drink somewhat responsibly.

Like every students all around the world.
I personally prefer to go to cafes or tearooms and just chat or play games there, as well as most of my friends and schoolmates. Those few 'let's drink till we drop' events I participated in were somewhat dull.
