Selling Without a License
The practice — common in fraternities and other campus groups – of charging an admission fee entitling guests to unlimited drinks should also be targeted, say the researchers, since surveyed students who received drinks for a set price were more likely to binge. “Eliminating this practice of selling alcohol without a license should be a priority,” said Wechsler.
