INTRODUCTION

At Mount Allison, the academic education of students is complemented by their social, emotional, and physical development. It is important to maintain an environment conducive to academic study and extra-curricular activities. Liquor policy at Mount Allison is one component of that environment.

The onus is on each member of the university community, student or staff, to contribute to the responsible use of alcohol and to uphold the privilege of the Special Facility Licence which is granted to the University contingent upon compliance with statutory requirements and internal policies and regulations.

Liquor policy at Mount Allison emanates from two sources:
 

1. The Liquor Control Act of New Brunswick which provides regulations in a number of areas including:

  • Operation of Special Facility Licences;
  • Servers Requirements;
  • Gifts by Breweries & Distilleries;
  • Consumption of Liquor by Minors;
  • Sale, Purchase and Possession of Liquor;
  • Club Licences;
  • Places of Consumption;
  • Provision of Alcohol to Intoxicated Persons.
 
Liquor policy at Mount Allison must respect the laws of the land and be appropriate to the aims of the University.

2. The University, which has an obligation to educate its community members, to be concerned about each individual's safety, and to provide leadership on pressing societal issues of which some alcohol practices are examples.

* * * * * * * * * * * *
 
Liquor policy at Mount Allison assumes a) recognition of each individual's right to decide whether or not to consume alcohol b) an understanding of what responsible drinking is, and c) knowledge of some fundamental facts about alcohol in general. These are elaborated on immediately below:
 
a. Every individual has the right to decide whether or not to consume alcohol.
 
b. What is responsible drinking?
 
In order to drink responsibly, we should know:

1. the effects of alcohol on our bodies,
2. factors which affect the rate of absorption,
3. how to avoid overindulgence, and
4. how to recognize if we have a drinking problem.

 
 
Responsible drinking is:
  • Drinking in moderation, not to excess (know your limit)
  • Being considerate of friends and others around you.
  • Saying "no" when you really don't want to drink.
  • Not driving after drinking.
  • Knowing that you do not have to drink to be "one of the crowd."
  • Knowing that you've had enough and saying so.
  • Being a responsible party host.
  • Not forcing drinks on other people.
  • Not drinking alcohol in a game or in a competitive manner.
  • Taking advantage of other things to do besides drinking.
  • Being careful about combining prescription drugs and alcohol.
  • Influencing your drinking friends to be responsible.
  • Being concerned about a friend's drinking habits.
 Top of page
 
c. General facts about alcohol
  • Legal age in NB - 19 years
  • 1 beer = 1 1/2 oz. liquor = 5 oz. red or white wine
  • Drinking in moderation constitutes approximately 1 drink per hour depending on body weight and depending on the length of time spent drinking.
  • Legal Blood Alcohol Content is .08 (80 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood) - although the police can suspend a driver's license for up to 24 hours for a BAC reading between 0.05 and 0.08 as obtained through the ALERT instrument.
  • Carbonated drinks help alcohol enter the bloodstream faster than other mixes do.
  • Diluting alcohol with water will slow absorption into the circulatory system.
  • Food, especially high protein items, will slow absorption of alcohol.
  • Some people believe that drinking coffee, taking a cold shower or sleeping 3 or 4 hours will significantly accelerate acquiring sobriety. This is not true.

PRINCIPLES ON WHICH THE LIQUOR POLICY IS BASED
 

  • Three focal points of policy should be prevention, intervention, and discipline. It is understood that prevention incorporates both education and policy initiatives.
  • University liquor policy is designed to encourage responsible planning of alcohol related events in advance.
  • All members of the university community are responsible for their actions at all times.
  • High risk alcohol related practices are strongly discouraged.
  • The needs of those who are non-drinkers or underage must be respected. Applying social pressure on others to drink is strongly discouraged.
  • Drinking should not be the primary focus of any activity.
  • Activities which incorporate accelerated drinking are strongly discouraged.
  • The above principles should not be sacrificed owing to financial constraint or financial or material gain.

EDUCATION
 
The University, through Student Life, provides education to students on the consumption and use of alcohol.
 
Campus alcohol education includes:
 
1a. Information: A variety of information is available year round in Student Life.
1b. The Residence Community Alcohol Policy is circulated to all residence students in September each year.
 
2. BACCHUS. The University is guided by the work of BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), an international group that advocates responsible alcohol related behaviour and maintains the philosophy that students who choose to drink alcohol should do so responsibly.
 
3. P.A.R.T.Y. (Promoting Alcohol Responsibility Through You). An initiative of the S.A.C. to promote responsible drinking on campus among those who choose to drink alcohol. The programme will involve coordinating drink-safe campaigning, non-alcohol event promotion, awareness week organizations and speakers and distributing material relating to alcohol issues around campus.
 
4. Orientation Week: Orientation events exclusively for first year students are planned without alcohol.
 
5. First Year Students Residence Orientation Program. This program is produced by Student Life and facilitated by Residence Staff. It enables students to discuss what constitutes responsible drinking, and, through a multiple choice questionnaire, gives some basic facts about drinking. The purpose is to educate or raise awareness amongst students on alcohol information.
 
6. Counsellor
The University's student life team includes a full time personal counsellor and a part time counsellor to whom individuals can refer students who need help in the areas of alcohol dependency problems, violence while drinking, and children of alcoholic parents.
 
7. Chaplain
The office of the Chaplain is prepared to provide assistance where needed for persons who recognize they have problems with alcohol or are affected by others who have problems with alcohol, and would like support or assistance in dealing with the problems. The Chaplain is available for support, counselling individually or in small groups, or working with a group of interested persons. The Chaplain can also serve as a resource in directing persons with drinking problems to appropriate resource groups.
 
8. Local Referral Agencies
Local Hospital (e.g. in case of alcohol poisoning) 364-4100
Addictions Counselling in Sackville: (ask for Ken MacKenzie) 364-4100
(Bi-weekly clinic at the Sackville Hospital)
Addiction Services in Moncton (ask for Ken MacKenzie) 856-2333

 Top of page
 

4. Tantramarsh Club
The Tantramarsh Club, by virtue of its Club license (#08043), is officially designated as a wet/dry establishment. However, the officers of the Club's Board of Directors recognize that problems can occur when minors are admitted to an environment including alcohol, and have consciously decided to restrict access to the Club during certain high-volume time periods.
 
If the Pub is open during any afternoon except Friday, it will be completely dry and any student may enter. On Friday afternoons and during any evening when the Pub is open only patrons over the age of 19 may enter.
 
Underage patrons must realise that it is an offence to pick up a drink or beer bottle, even if they are not consuming it.
 
Any minors who do not follow the above guidelines will be asked to leave the premises immediately, will be subject to judicial charges, and will be banned from the premises at least until they reach the age of majority.
 
Patrons should be aware that a comprehensive video surveillance system with round-the-clock taped coverage is in use within the Club to ensure compliance with provincial age-of majority drinking regulations.

7. Pricing of Beverages sold in licensed premises (University Club, Tantramarsh Club and Bar Services)
The purpose of this section is to ensure that non-alcoholic beverages are available at reasonable prices and also that low pricing of alcoholic beverages will not lead to the promotion of irresponsible consumption.
 
Alcohol
The sale price of alcohol will not be artificially low. As of April, 1999 provincial regulations on minimum pricing are in effect. University policy reflects those prices.
 
Non-alcohol
The selling price of non-alcoholic beverages should be set such that the selling price is not artificially high.

9. Sources of Alcohol Consumption on Campus:

i. Bar Services Sales:
  Other than the Tantramarsh Club and the University Club, Bar Services is the only agency permitted to sell or serve liquor on campus.
   
  Types of bars:
 
a. Cash Bar - Bars at which patrons pay cash for each drink.
b. Open Bar - Bars at which the hosting organization pays the bar bill.
   
  Location of bars:
 

Bar Services may only sell in the licensable locations listed in Appendix A. Campus Police are required in appropriate numbers at all liquor events.

Alcohol donated by breweries/wineries/distilleries for non-residence use:

The only legal method for breweries/wineries/ distilleries to donate alcohol for distribution at licensable premises is by making a monetary donation to the group which in turn will engage Bar Services to effect normal Bar Services sales procedures. Thus, breweries/wineries/distilleries may make monetary donations to campus organizations.

Note: Groups wishing to have Bar Service sales at locations that are not listed on Appendix A must apply to the Revenue Division of the provincial government (formerly the New Brunswick Liquor Licensing Board) through the Dean of Students.

  Patrons may bring alcohol only to permitted residence floor parties but not to any other campus event. Restrictions on glass containers may apply in some areas.
   
iii. Alcohol given to student or other groups by breweries/wineries/distilleries who have purchased it from the liquor store for donation of product to residences:
  For permitted student residence floor and lounge parties, alcohol given to student groups by breweries/wineries/distilleries which have purchased it from the liquor store is permitted in accordance with stipulations in Section 13 below.
 Top of page
 
10. Open Liquor:
a. It is an offence for anyone at all to have open liquor anywhere on campus outside residence rooms except for those 19 and over at officially licensed events.
   
b. Open liquor is, for example: a cup with alcohol in it, an open bottle of beer or wine or liquor, an open case of beer even if the bottles are all capped, loose bottles in your knapsack or pockets, a flat of canned beer in which any can has been removed from the plastic rings. Campus Police and Residence Staff have the right to search for and seize unauthorized alcohol.
   
c. The University's liquor license allows for underage students to be at "wet/dry events" in which students over 19 may drink alcohol (wet) and under 19's may not (dry). Be aware that at some student events, alcohol drinks are served in a cup of one colour while non-alcoholic drinks are served in a cup of a different colour. It is an offence for underage students to be drinking from the wrong coloured cup or for legal age students to be drinking from the wrong coloured cup if they have had their hand stamped as a non-liquor drinker.

11. Bus Trips:
Students and student groups renting buses or vans or contracting with a company for chauffeur driver transportation are expected to ensure that there is no open liquor or consumption of alcohol in the vehicles.

 Top of page
 
14. Identification:

Campus Police and Security have the right under reasonable circumstances to search students for identification. Lying about one's identity is a serious offence.
   
b. It is students' responsibility to bring ID to social events. If students arrive at an event without ID, they will be stamped non-liquor (dry) and charged if they are caught with alcohol.
 
 

15. Advertising
Advertising for liquor events must comply with the stipulations of the University Special Facility License and with the University Policy.
 
a. General
  Advertising for liquor events must comply with the stipulations of the University's Special Facility License. Advertising for events on campus is not permitted in non-university publications.
   
 

The following, (revised in April 1997 in accordance with changes to provincial policy as confirmed on April 16, 1997 by Brian Steeves at the Revenue Division), refers to campus media and posters for events that would be held on- or off-campus and are organized by on- or off-campus organizations, and has been revised on a trial basis subject to annual review by the Liquor Policy Committee.
 
i. The words liquor, wine, spirits, beer, ale, bar, saloon, or words of like import can be used.
ii. Prices of alcoholic beverages cannot be quoted. Any prices or numbers quoted are presumed to be alcoholic beverage prices unless stated otherwise and are likewise prohibited. This policy is in effect until new legislation has been proclaimed and the Liquor Policy Committee confirms a change in university policy.
iii. Free alcohol may not be advertised.
iv. The advertising in no way should promote over consumption, or the suggestion of reduced prices.
v. Pictures, drawings. designs, etc., of beverage glasses, pitchers, bottles and labels can be displayed
   
b. Poster Advertising:
 
i. Major Events on campus (McConnell, Jennings, etc.)
 

According to Provincial laws, brewery poster advertising is permissible.

At any one time, each brewery may post a maximum of three posters on campus, only in the following six specified locations: three places in the Student Centre (next to the SAC Office, next to the mailroom entrance and in the first floor lobby) and in each of the entrances to the dining halls (McConnell East and West and Jennings).

No brewery posters are to appear anywhere else on campus including University residences and inside University dining halls.

It is the responsibility of student brewery representatives on campus to ensure that only one set of posters is up at any given time and that the wording on the posters complies with the stipulations of the Revenue Division of the provincial government (formerly the Liquor Licensing Board of New Brunswick).
   
  Residence floor or lounge parties on campus:
  In accordance with University policies pertaining to residence parties, no public advertising (i.e. posters on campus, announcements in the Argosy, CHMA or announcements at the pub or semis) is permitted.
   
c. Brewery Vehicles
  Brewery vehicles are not permitted on campus.
   
d. CHMA
  It is expected that CHMA will comply with all applicable provincial regulations including those of the Liquor Control Act of New Brunswick.
   
e. The Argosy
  It is expected that advertising in The ARGOSY will be published in strict accordance with legislation of the Liquor Control Act, with the applicable provincial regulations and with University Policy.
   
f. Tantramarsh Club
  Advertising on campus outside the club, for club events, must comply with university policies.
   
g. Other University Publications
  Any alcohol related advertising in other university publications (such as the Allisonian, programmes for concerts, plays and sports, and schedules of events for Winter Carnival, Homecoming and Convocation) must be accompanied by advertisements sponsored by a variety of non-alcohol enterprises.
 Top of page
 
16. Other Alcohol Related Promotions:
Alcohol related promotions (which include the provision of prizes such as T-shirts and key chains, for example) are seen as being potentially beneficial and may be permitted with prior approval of the Liquor Policy Committee through the Dean of Students. All decisions relating to promotional activities are subject to review by the Liquor Policy Committee subsequent to the event.
 
Promotions may be permissible provided that:
a. they do not promote consumption of alcohol in irresponsible amounts;
   
b. they do not discriminate against non-drinkers or underage patrons;
   
c. the type of promotion is deemed appropriate to Mount Allison by the Liquor Policy Committee;
   
d. they fall within the guidelines of policies established by the Revenue Division of the provincial government (formerly the Liquor Licensing Board of New Brunswick) and the University.
 

"Drink and Win" promotions, such as those that require the purchase of a drink to attain eligibility for a draw to win prizes, must not be used because: 1) they exclude underage drinkers and 2) they associate the notion of drinking with the notion of winning. Give-aways by breweries of items such as hats and jackets inside licensed events must be available to all patrons equally.

The University would accept promotions such as brewery sponsorship of Alcohol Awareness Week, designated driver programmes and other responsible drinking campaigns.

Note: Any alcohol related promotion not specifically authorized by section 4,5,6 or 7 is not permitted.

17. Bar Services:
It is the responsibility of Bar Services to ensure that:
a. all bartenders working the event are suitably trained;
   
b. a high profile area is reserved for the sale/serving of non-alcoholic beverages (this area should be easily accessible to patrons stamped "non-liquor");
   
c. the serving of non-alcoholic beverages is facilitated (hiring of extra staff to sell soft drinks, if necessary);
   
d. in cooperation with the Campus Police, those who are intoxicated are not served alcoholic beverages;
   
e. in cooperation with the Campus Police, those under the age of 19 years are not served alcoholic beverages.

** It is the prerogative of the Bar Services Manager or Senior Bartender to close the bar if, in her/his opinion, it becomes necessary.
 Top of page
 
18. Campus Police:
Campus Police are required at all functions where alcohol is available through Bar Services. They may be required at other events. (See Section 4).
 
Number of Campus Police Required:
  • For University events during the academic year, the number of Campus Police will be decided by the Campus Police Chief and the Bar Services Manager, after consultation with the organizing group.
  • For conferences, the number of Campus Police will be decided by the Director of Conferences, the Bar Services Manager and the Director of Security after consultation with a representative from the sponsoring organization.
 
 
It is the responsibility of Campus Police to:
a. uphold the laws of the land, and University Rules and Regulations;
b. ensure, along with Bar Services, that people under the age of 19 years are not served alcoholic beverages;

j. protect University property;
k. take the initiative in enforcing provisions and regulations which are not being enforced by others;
l. close the event if, in the opinion of the senior CP on duty, that becomes necessary.
 
 
INTERVENTION

The onus is on each member of the University community, student, faculty or staff, to contribute to the responsible use of alcohol and to uphold the privilege of the Special Facility License which is granted to the University contingent upon compliance with statutory requirements and internal policies and regulations.

The contribution of each member of the community may mean expressing sincere care and concern for someone who has a problem with alcohol. It may mean referring or reporting a case or a situation to officials such as the Chaplain, the Counsellor or Human Resources who have more specific responsibilities. It may mean reacting with common sense if a regulation is being broken.

Event organizers and sponsors, residence staff, campus police and security have specific responsibilities as outlined in applicable policies and procedures or in training instructions.
 
 
DISCIPLINE

Members of the university community who commit infractions of University Liquor policy are subject to the relevant code or collective agreement.

The document Policies and Procedures for Student Governance outlines the system for dealing with student offences.
 Top of page
 
RECOMMENDATIONS
 
ACTIONS
  • Full inspection of premises where alcohol is consumed should be undertaken regularly to ensure reasonable safety standards.
  • Efforts initiated recently to ensure that university ID cards contain accurate demographic information and are not subject to falsification should be continued.
 
 
EDUCATION
  • There should be a regular review of the extent of training for bar service staff, residence staff, campus police and student leaders.
  • The University Community should be made aware of the policies outlined in this document. Student Club and Society Presidents, House Presidents and Social Chairs, Residence Staff, SAC Representatives, Faculty, Staff and Administration should be notified annually.
  • A review of efforts made to promote awareness of self-help programs including Counselling Services, brochures available at Student Life and Alcoholics Anonymous should be conducted regularly.
  • Information published by the Conference Centre should include references to relevant policies in this document.
  • An effort should be made to create greater awareness that open liquor on campus and drinking at licensed events when stamped "dry" are offences.
