I don’t. I mean, I feel bad about what are obviously deep-rooted psychological issues, but an RA ought to be smart enough not to stash more beer than can be consumed in a sitting in her room.
Why shouldn’t she be stocked up on beer? Does the campus have a no-beer policy? I know it’s a college in the bible belt, but that would still sound outlandish to me. A student can enjoy a frosty beverage when their work is done.

Most college dormatories have a strict no-beer policy because most college students in the US are below the legal drinking age.
gangler
oh, right. Always forget about that American age limit on the booze.
Do we think Ruth’s below drinking age or would it really be that inclusive that even a legal drinker can’t do so in their room?
iSaidCandleja-
Most people enter college at 18 and stay for 4 years. The drinking age is 21. I’mpretty sure she is under the drinking age.
gangler
That math certainly adds up. Ouch.
What's in a name?
Just want to add, it’s not like that on all US campuses. The school I went to had no outright ban on alcohol, but if you were above 21 and had a roommate who was under 21, you couldn’t have alcohol in your room. If you had a private room or a roommate of legal age you could have it.
They did room checks, but weren’t allowed to search for things (as in go through your stuff). So long as nothing was out in the open it was pretty easy to get by without getting caught if you wanted to drink underage.

My college actually did have a drinking ban on campus. That said, most students didn’t care that much. As long as you weren’t stupidly obvious about it, most RA’s wouldn’t turn you in. Hell, one of my RA’s was even drinking in his room with some friends, and when one of my friends walked in and stared, the RA said, “What? I’m 21.”
AddleBoy
It’s kind of funny because my college has a ban on drinking anywhere on campus, and if you leave campus and come back drunk, you could still get in trouble because you are considered a container for the booze you drank.
However, it’s pretty easy to sneak booze into your room because the R.A.s don’t do checks. My roommate and I had booze in our fridge constantly.
Despite Rage
Ha!
I am a “container for booze”. Always have been, but sometimes I don’t fulfill my primary purpose very well.
Shifty
Even if Ruth isn’t under the age of drinking, in most US colleges the R.A.’s are not allowed to have alcohol in their room, particularly if they are responsible for those below the age of 21. The schools normally don’t want to risk the chance that a kid could get access to it, or the that R.A. is sharing booze. The schools in America don’t want there to be any chance of being sued by angry parents for their kid getting into a booze related mishap on the campus.

Canadian university recruiters should use that as an incentive. “Come to Alberta, you can drink at 18, and our strippers take everything off”. Enrollment would skyrocket.
Well that’s lame lol. Glad I don’t go to school there. That’d completely kill St Patrick’s day among other things.
Andy
Likely because Indiana is one of the stupidest states about drinking laws. Fun fact: if you’re under 21, you can get in trouble simply for driving a friend to and from the liquor store in Indiana.
Also, gangler, “dry campus” translates to “You’re not supposed to drink here, but we all know you do anyways.”
gangler
That still might mess with St Patrick’s day. People aren’t usually subtle in their celebration. If I had a nickle for every time I got to spot an obviously drunken athlete in naught but a green speedo marching down the hallways at ten in the morning to some tune only he hears (until he starts singing) I’d probably get a handful of extra nickels annually.
Who knows though? Maybe if we had to be more discrete we’d do that off campus and maybe wait until classes were done. Teachers might be less hesitant to schedule a test on the day of or morning after.
I don’t know… sounds more productive but less fun.
A friend of mine from back in high school was once in a band called “Free Beer.” They couldn’t get anybody to book them, though, because nobody wanted to put that on their signs.

Especially the free beer.

Free booze is always the best.

Plasma Mongoose changes avatars every weekday. It’s kind of a thing.

Plasma Mongoose changes avatars like I change my underwear.

You change your underwear with photoshop? WOW that is amazing! 😛

Or deep-fried in beer batter.

Deep-fried beer.
Suilean Dubh
Beer soup! Which is a real thing. And is German. Woop!
Plasma Mongoose
Trust the Germans to invent such a thing, that and vienna schnitzel.

Deep-fried beer actually exists, you know. Seriously, go to any state fair in the Midwest, it’s a scary thing.
Kernanator
Seriously? Goddamn, I was just joking when I said that…
Hannover Fist
Rule #42 of the internet: If it exists, somebody has deep fried it.
Kernanator
What about deep-fried air? Has anyone done that yet?
Plasma Mongoose
Not from the lack of trying.

Good for you, Billie. Any leverage is good when you’re this outmatched, and that’s damn good leverage.
Darth Shadow
For a second, I read leverage as “cleavage” for some reason.
Plasma Mongoose
Since cleavage can be useful as leverage, it makes perfect sense.
CWR
Especially whilst consuming a beverage.
Aizat
And as a distraction. Unless the target hates cleavages and/or women in general.
Plasma Mongoose
That’s when ‘plumber’s cleavage’ becomes quite handy, thou it is far more likely to disgust than distract.

I was a poet and nobody knows it =[

For a second I thought she forgot the jersey.
This still doesn’t stop Ruth from breaking into her room, though. If anything Billie is just going to escalate things.
Kinda feel bad for Ruth.
