….Has there been any research to show what the alcohol industry means to the university in terms of financial support and student employment? If there is any doubt about the city of Madison’s position on the effects of alcohol — check out the Metro bus sporting the full body paint beer ad: “Drink Miller Genuine Draft!!!”
Now I know a suggestion to make the UW campus area a tavern- and alcohol advertising-free zone will be met with all kinds of sensible reasons why the idea is absurd. However, if the city of Madison, state of Wisconsin and University of Wisconsin were serious about the health of the students, and a vegetable, not alcohol, was the source of the ills, I think we would see a unified effort to rid the campus area of the product.
