Love it! Let's promote more consumption of alcohol, maybe we'll get to read about all the accidents and tragedies during the week.

Don't worry Alan, I'm sure it will hit the news sometime tomorrow when they sort through the police reports down at Starbucks. Scooped by the Michigan Daily. Nice.

The first two photos are from the brown jug, not the blue leprechaun. Also, the bars on south university are considered campus, never downtown. Everything on that side of division until hill st/washtenaw ave, is campus. You work for a local paper, so we expect you to know that.
