How are ladies drink free specials, happy hours, allowing people to order more than 1 drink, or get a pitcher by themselves in Statesboro any different than in Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, LA, NY....? The only real difference is the town is smaller. The laws in Statesboro have always been stricter than anywhere else I have ever lived (and I have lived in 7 different cities in the last 8 years). They don't need new laws they need to enforce the ones they already have. There is already a law there that anyone purchasing alcohol must be ID'd no matter the age of the person. This went into effect at the same time they passed liquor by the drink (8 years ago). My husband's 84 year old grandmother was carded at the Longhorn's there a couple of months ago.

I am not going to say that underage and binge drinking is not a problem in Statesboro. I and my friends who were there in the mid 90s partied pretty hard to say the least. Guess what, none of us turned out to be bums we all have rather high paying jobs a few that are pretty high profile. We are all greek, maybe that helped? I do not regret making the choice to go the "party school" - I had other options. In fact I loved every minute of my college experience and would not trade it for the world. It's where I met my husband, my best friends, and my sisters.

The University has come a long way in overhauling their reputation. They are no longer listed in Playboy or any other publication as a top party school as they were in the late 80s, early 90s. They have moved to a more selective admissions process. They have several degree programs that they are well known for in those industries.
