ALCOHOL GUIDELINES FOR GRADUATE STUDENT GROUPS
Graduate Student Life at the McDougal Center
requires all registered graduate organizations to use alcohol responsibly
if they choose to serve it at their events.
-Alcohol info and Resources: Please see the UHS
Health education website
for detailed information on responsible alcohol us, issues, services,
and risk reduction. The McDougal Center wishes to highlight the
following important Alcohol Guidelines below:
-No alcohol served to those under 21: Groups must
follow all Yale rules and state laws regarding the use and serving
of alcohol. Groups should have policies to prevent the serving of
alcohol to those under 21 years of age whether hosting events on-campus
or off-campus. A 2006 CT state law now holds legally responsible
those who serve alcohol to underage persons, even in private gatherings.
-Responsible Use and Promotion of Alcohol for student groups:
Groups registered and/or receiving funding from the McDougal Center
should take special care that their events promote and serve alcohol
responsibly. See the UHS websites below for important information:
Responsible
Party Planning If you are serving alcohol at your grad
student group event, you should also offer non-alcoholic beverages
and food. Alcohol should be served by responsible servers or professional
bartenders. See the PDF above for guidelines.
Responsible
Advertising of Events involving Alcohol: Posters, websites
and emails promoting a grad student group event should follow UHS
guidelines for advertising social events to students. They should
focus on the event, not the alcohol and should not encourage overconsumption.
Advertisements should mention non-alcoholic beverages, like the
following: “Beer, wine and soda served” or “free
pizza, soda and beer.” See the
PDF above for further guidelines.
