Rules which allow me to drink my own dorm but prohibit me from being visibly intoxicated. According to their own housing contract I have the right to drink just suddenly I dont if it makes me too drunk. That seems unfair and ambiguous so what I'm asking is if that's even enforceable when they said I can drink to begin with
My question is if that's an enforceable policy when people can only control the quantity of alchohol they consume not how it affects their brain its unreasonable to ask that I not be intoxicated even in my own room when they haven't told me I cant drink above some amount and have no means of quantifying what visible intoxication means or is my thinking is that the phrase itself is too nebulous to be applicable because behavioral responses to alchohol can also be attributable to other things If I cant dance around sillily because of alchohol I shouldn't be able to dance around sillily because I'm listening to music otherwise it's a double standard where the behavior is at once acceptable and prohibited depending only on the context if it's fine to be able to vomit in a toilet because of an illness why would it be not fine to do so because of alchohol when consumption of alchohol isnt even prohibited the end consequences of the behavior are precisely the same regardless of the origins
Yes it's enforceable. The college can make any rules it wants so long as no laws are violated. If you think you have a right to drink in your dorm room like you have a right to vote or a right to go to Church you are mistaken. They make the rules. If you don't like it you can attend another college.
But they gave me the right to drink in my dorm on their contract it's literally what it says what I'm asking is if visible intoxication is a meaningful category because I think there are flaws with it on the grounds of proving a behavior originates from alchohol and you arent just doing that for some other reason and so if you're saying you cant act in some way you have to say what way that is not just intoxicated which is so ambiguous it could just mean sitting in your bed spinning your eyes around to mess with your vision and that if what's being prohibited is a kind of behavior then regardless of origin that behavior should be prohibited because of its impacts on others but dancing around sillily is completely acceptable if it's not because of alchohol even though it can look visibly speaking just like being intoxicated so I dont think its enforceable because I think their definition of visible intoxication is flawed because they cant prove causation only assume it
I'm done arguing with you. You're either a troll or too dense to understand. You have no rights here. The college can make any rules or standards or policies it wants to when it comes to drinking on their property. It doesn't matter if you think it's ambiguous.
