> [@Gary\_T](#): > > Another idea along these lines is to have women in bars buy drinks for men they might be interested in meeting. Probably has the same likelihood of becoming the new norm. I think this is the correct analogy, and that’s the problem. Frats throw parties to lure young women to their house. College-age women, as a group, traditionally have little need to do much of anything to lure men. If a sorority throws a party that’s open to all the guys on campus, they’ll have far more guys than they can deal with, trying to get into their party. ---

If true this is an utterly absurd level of alcohol consumption. I don’t really buy that either, but keep in mind there’s an enormous amount of waste at parties and the percent wasted probably increases as people get drunker. Someone starts drinking a beer, puts it down and can’t find it or wants to play it safe, someone spills beer all over the couch, … and so on. ---
