<p>Having a glass of (almost) any alcoholic drink is good for you, irrespective of your academics. Red wine is optimal.</p>
<p>“Jack on the rocks” means Jack with ice and nothing else. “Jack neat” (or “Jack straight”) means only Jack, no ice, no water, nothing else. “Jack and coke” usually comes on the rocks (with ice), no matter what. “Jack and water” usually means no ice, just Jack and water.</p>
<p>“Margarita on the rocks” mean a mixed tequila drink on ice, not blended. </p>
<p>By the way, I drink far more margaritas on the rocks with salt than Jack (alone or with anything). :)</p>
<p>Sounds like someone has already aced the Alcohol Education required training.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, I was not aware that AlcoholEdu had created so much hate and anger among the incoming college student community that there are blogs devoted to giving you the answers. A Google search for “alcoholedu answers” will turn up numerous results of people posting answers, which may or may not be correct.</p>
<p>What the hell have they done to you guys?</p>
<p>It is not bad at all - but takes two hours of time - seems like a lot of effort to skip two hours of work by ■■■■■■■■ for answers on the web. It is mostly practical hints about how to drink, not preaching that drink is evil. Not sure why the animosity.</p>
<p>We’re lazy. What.</p>
<p>All the answers I have found have been from one year ago. What.</p>
<p>Guess the blogs are a kind of ‘study guide’ for the course.</p>
<p>Right, rider730. If memory serves, I think that my incoming class was the first class required to take AlcoholEdu. I can’t believe I sat through all that crap like a chump.</p>
<p>What the what alcohol class? Do we get to test samples</p>
<p>On the checklist of required steps for incoming students - look at MyBerkeleyApplication </p>
<p>Two hours of online coursework and a test which must be passed with a score of 70% or higher, all completed before arrival. A short time after starting fall semester, a shorter followup activity.</p>
<p>Has it been taken off your checklist for those of you who completed it?</p>
<p>No, there’s no “Done” to click if you finish it, because there’s another activity that you must complete to finish Alcohol Edu.</p>
<p>I just want to throw it out there that I had a strawberry daquiri once, and, plagued as I was by self-doubt about the shadow of suspicion this would surely cast over my manliness (hey, I was young and insecure), I hurriedly asked my best and most trusted female friend if the strawberry daquiri is a “girl drink.” It is. She told me. But she assured me I could pull it off. So, Viromonkey, don’t be ashamed if in fact you are a guy. It’s a new age. I’m proud to say I enjoyed the strawberry daquiri. Now granted, this was at my HS Grad Night, so it was a virgin strawberry daquiri…which I guess lays an even heavier emphasis on its status as a girl’s drink…but I don’t care! And I hope to someday have the opportunity to try an appletini, and perhaps the true man’s drink, the nectarini (if the bartender knows his way around nectar).</p>
<p>Good day to you all.</p>
<p>Strawberry daquiris are OK for metrosexuals. Which are the next stage in our sexual evolution, so it’s OK for you too.</p>
<p>Just did that AlcoholEdu thing. What an insipid ■■■■■■■■ thing.</p>
<p>finished the first part of AlcoholEdu. It’s marked completed and is off my checklist on MyBerkeleyApp.</p>
<p>I finished it about two weeks ago or something like that…so they probably check it off your list after evaluating your score and determining whether you pass or not</p>
<p>Whoa, I came to this thread to expect some insightful information about how to get back up when you are beaten down by that one problem… not only to find three pages about the terminology of alcohol, lol.
Well I hope there are other ways to get accepted in college for us non-drinkers.</p>
<p>Of course Shan Rukh Khan! There are always the potheads…</p>
<p>But yea, if I’m stuck on a problem (in this order):</p>
<p>1.) Look in the textbook for similar question + answer
2.) Contact Classmate
3.) E-mail Professor
4.) Meet Professor face-face. </p>
<p>5.) If all else fails, start doodling for the respective question you failed to get. Last semester when I took O-chem, I forgot the reaction of a product, so I started drawing adorable anim</p>
<p>good tip on #1…its been long since ive done that</p>
