Also, carbonated beverages leave the container of their own volition, which can cause them to spill on books. If you're bringing hard liquor to the library, you're dedicated enough to make sure it gets drunk.
Now, they just bring "factory sealed" water bottles that're full of clear alcohol, instead, after discovering it's really not that hard to swap the super-high-tech anti-tamper "solution". 🤫🤷🏼♂️
must be america. the only country people being entitled telling you what to drink. normal people would just bann food or drink in certain areas. but if its allowed, you decide what to do with your life.
Yeah in all the libraries I've been to the standard policy is usually no food, no drinks except water.
Maybe it's the soda lobby which wouldn't tolerate discrimination between water and soda?

Ah yes. And Twisted Teas are or can be, "hard" (containing alcohol, much like "hard alcohol").

Twisted teas are malt beverages, not hard liquor.

A buddy of mine had them at a football game we went to recently. Awful stuff. Tons of sugar, barely any booze. I'm with the librarian.

Understandably. They do tend toward the kinkier side... 🤘🏼

Tbf, it's definitely brand based. The cheap ones are, unsurprisingly, well... cheap.

Since it's a study area, probably because of the carbonation sounds and the sound from opening the can.

might be more likely to cause inebriation at levels that would result in spillage or vomiting however...

Are people really partying that hard in the library?
village604@adultswim.fan · 3 pts · 115d
That's normal stuff for high pressure study environments.
JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 114d
Therefore hard liquor, being quiet, is perfectly acceptable in libraries 😄

I believe a twea is a Twisted Tea

Sensible policy. If you gotta bust out the hard stuff for studying, they know you're in deep shit

My college banned fast food (specifically Sonic) cups from intramural events. Because everyone spiked their drinks with liquor.

Does the rule include nose beers as well?
village604@adultswim.fan · 5 pts · 116d
I think it's the opening of the cans that's the issue.

Have you considered the other possibility? That you simply suck at recognizing obviously fake shit on the internet?

University libraries usually have a study section without any bookshelves. Rules are usually more lax there
