BREAKING NEWS: UMass implements stricter alcohol policies

AMHERST (AP) – No more drinking games at the University of Massachusetts.

The school is cracking down on alcohol abuse on the Amherst campus with a list of new rules that go into effect this semester.

Along with banning games meant to get players drunk as quickly as possible, the rules include prohibitions on taps and funnels and large gatherings where more than 10 people are in a dormitory room with alcohol.

There will also be fewer bottles of beer lined up on the dorm room walls. Students who are 21 or older will be allowed to keep no more than 12 bottles or cans of beer, two bottles of wine or one bottle of hard liquor.

“These changes represent our continued efforts to reduce underage and binge drinking,” said Jo-Anne Vanin, dean of students.
