It is pretty funny.

But while he's making fun of the administration and it's funny...it still highlights reality. Reality is that if you have the red cup in the picture, people assume you are drinking. It's just the way it is, fair or not.

This may have been mentioned before, but the other option is to not mention your affiliation with your GLO group on facebook. Personally, I'd still hope that people who keep their postings and photos within the boundaries of good taste, but if you don't really wholeheartedly accept a group's attitude about alcohol, you could limited the issue by not having letters, symbols, greek crests, family trees, etc in your profile.

While I don't think it's a big hardship to not have photos boozing it up online, I also don't think anyone should take the effort to Puritanical extremes. For instance, and this is totally hypothetical since I have no authority in this area, I don't think I'd try to take action against a member who was above the legal drinking age who posted no photos of herself with alcohol connected to her page, but who appeared to be drinking a photo tagged by others. The effort not to connect GLO signs, symbols, or letters with alcohol doesn't extend to requiring that members of legal age not drink in public ever, so I'm not sure why a photo, which wasn't otherwise inappropriate in content, of a person with something that appeared to be alcohol generally being on the internet would be a big problem, tagged on facebook or otherwise.

I suspect that having a outright ban on alcohol images connected with GLOs is just a whole lot easier than making the repeated judgment calls about, well, this photo with a beer bottle is fine but this one isn't because you look drunk, etc.
