Alcohol

Students who are of legal drinking age (21) may possess and consume alcoholic beverages, but only as a private activity in private living areas (i.e., room and/or apartment). Students are legally responsible for their actions in all mental and physical conditions including those induced by alcoholic beverages. Students who display intoxicated behaviors (e.g., glazed eyes, slurred speech, etc.) which make it reasonable to believe they consumed alcohol, or students who require assistance due to consumption of alcohol, shall be subject to judicial action. Also refer to the Georgia Tech Alcohol and Drug Policy. Georgia Tech also prohibits:

1. The use of alcohol by anyone under the legal drinking age of 21.
2. The transport and/or consumption of alcohol in opened containers in any public area including any property that surrounds a residence hall and is considered Housing property.
3. The manufacture or selling of alcohol.
4. Failure to abide by the Institute�s policy on student organization use of alcohol.
5. Public intoxication
6. Common containers of alcohol (kegs, party balls, trash cans, etc.) are not permitted. Beverages must be used in individual containers.
7. Guests and visitors may not consume or possess alcohol in the room of a host (resident) under the age of twenty-one.
8. If a room is shared by those over and under twenty-one years old, it must be clear that the alcohol is being consumed only by those twenty-one years or older. In apartments where this is true, alcohol can only be consumed by those of age in their bedroom.
