Notes

Cautions on Drinking Alcohol

At age 20, drinking is permitted, but at the same time, it is necessary to observe the responsibilities and rules associated with drinking.

A little carelessness or inattention can lead to danger not only to yourself but also to those you are drinking with.

Please learn the correct knowledge about alcohol consumption and follow the rules and moderation in drinking.

 

Alcohol harassment and violence

One of the major symptoms of intoxication is that you become uninhibited. Never force someone to drink in a group, intentionally make someone lose consciousness, act violently under the influence, etc.

These actions and violence that can be regarded as alcohol harassment can fully be subject to punishment.

Misconception regarding alcohol tolerance

The idea that you have a “high tolerance for alcohol” may result in serious incidents. Someone with a high tolerance for alcohol is less prone to becoming sick, resulting in drinking excessively. This means that the person is that much more prone to organopathy due to alcohol and acute alcohol poisoning. Furthermore, you can never grow your tolerance for alcohol no matter how much you drink. Change your overconfidence and misconceptions about alcohol.

Drunken driving/Alcohol consumption by persons under 20 years of age

Drunken driving/Alcohol consumption by persons under 20 years of age are illegal. Severe penalties will be imposed on violators.

Drinking alcohol by persons under 20 years of age and forcing people to drink is prohibited by law, and if it is violated, all parties involved, including those who were present, may be held legally responsible and may be subject to social liability. In recent years, we have been receiving severe comments from outside the university regarding drinking-related manners.

On the other hand, within the university, you will be punished as a student or a circle. As a student of Waseda University, act with an appropriate awareness.

Risky way of drinking/ikki-nomi (chugging)

Drinking a lot of alcohol in a short period of time can quickly paralyze your brain beyond the tipsy and good feeling. By the time others notice, you may already be in a coma. Repeatedly throwing up and drinking is also very dangerous. Most of the alcohol is absorbed through the intestines, but the absorption in the intestines is fast, and the alcohol is absorbed into the body more than you think.

As a member of the community

For many years, local residents and students have coexisted in the neighborhoods surrounding the university, trusting and respecting each other. You are not only a student of Waseda University, but also a member of the local community. As students of Waseda University who are loved and trusted by the local residents, let us always keep in mind that we should act humbly and not be ashamed of your behavior wherever and whenever.
