this seems more about protecting the books from the way people crack their drinks open.
So the library leadership cut an exception for themselves, probably.
Soak a dictionary in bud light the night before, then you just rip out a handful of pages at a time, boom. Now who is a degenerate failure and a worthless blemish on decent society, Grandma?
These people aren’t your friends
Study shots it is then, got it.
I had a 6 AM start microbiology lab. In order to get myself going, I brought a bottle of wine carefully poured into a bottle of Gatorade.
I fucking loved that class.
Also our TA was a smoke show.
Alcoholic?
So you can’t crack a cold one to relax but getting shitfaced is absolutely fine?
Where do I sign up?
The cracking bit is the issue, they don’t want a beer volcano. Vodka isn’t carbonated.
Vodka isn’t carbonated.
Usually at least. Big Clive did put some in the sodastream https://youtube.com/watch?v=8kK-QUjOl0Q
Well so long as I can have my study whiskey
It’s a plot against the Inebriati.
This message does not apply to hard liquors.
I’m very curious as to why, but I won’t argue.
I assumed it’s because the tenured faculty come in to do their research with a pocket flask.
Duh, obviously you need hard liquor for hard study. It’s pretty hard.
There’s other good speculation on the reasoning but I wonder if it’s due to the younger staff put in charge of posting this notice. Maybe they pestered management about the specific reasoning until they determined that hard liquor did not meet the provided definition of restricted items, then added the last sentence as a form of protest.
They have a resealable top. The library is most likely concerned about spills. Most of them have a no cans policy.
Beer dries sticky, does hard liquor dry out clean? It’s mostly water and alcohol so it might be better
Grain Vodka is the only one that leaves no traces. I knew a bartender who would clean his customer’s glasses with vodka when he saw they were dirty.
😅 i do most of my cleaning with alcohol. Is that not good?
Just don’t use it on screens.
For anyone wondering as to the reason: alcohol can ruin the anti-glare coating on matte displays.
Nonsense. My windows look gorgeous.
Generally relatively clean, though flavored liquors may contain sugar and most liqueurs do.
Opening cans is very distracting.
What about a bottle in a paper bag? That could be just as distracting!
What about a flask?
The most common kind with the cap attached to the metal hinge thingy rattles/jingles.
Perhaps a beer helmet and 2 bottles of liquor?
Don’t mess with the hard liquor lobby. If you know, you know
In my experience the library is often visited by homeless people because it’s free entertainment. A lot of the homeless people around my area are also alcoholics and have you ever tried to take alcohol away from an alcoholic. It’s not easy.
So… study whiskey is ok?
Of course.
It’d be barbaric otherwise
I mean, no one is going to do calculus sober
don’t drink and derive!
Did you know that 1 in 5 car crashes involve a drunk driver? That means that in 4 out of 5 crashes, everyone is completely sober! It is way safer to drive while intoxicated! Pour yourself another cup, it’s the only way to be responsible.
I actually derive better after a few drinks!
Never drink and derive.
I signed up for calculus but it was like 90% algebra and I wanted my money back!
It’s the carbonation induced volcano they’re trying to avoid
Cognac and study
henny & study
More of a Scotch person myself.
So, they just don’t want drinks that make noise when you open them?
Fizzy drinks in cans can erupt like a volcano too
It’s not the booze that’s banned it’s the can
if that were the case they could just write “no canned beverages” or “no drinks without resealable lids” etc. there’s no reason to bring booze into it at all. so if that was their intent then this is really poor communication.
I assume VT is like what I’ve read about the USA where people can’t walk around outside with open alcohol.
Other canned drinks can just be brought out when you’re leaving, but you need to try to conceal beer. That’d lead to unnecessary spills.
Tweas?
Boozey iced teas
Never heard that particular slang but sounds like it’s from the Twisted Teas brand
Correct
Fascists :(
