Yesterday, I grabbed dinner and a beer at the Great Dane after a meeting. I happened to be facing the window and saw the “beer bus” circulating around the outer loop several times. It kind of made me laugh. While the UW is so focused on the drinking habits of UW Students and how to change the culture of drinking on campus; the City is talking about limiting alcohol licenses downtown; the public and periphery alders are up in arms about the drag on police resources we have in the downtown area due to drinking on campus; and the police are warning students to be careful when drinking late night because Kelly Nolans killer is still on the lose; at the same time we have this “beer bus” circulating around downtown sending a much different message. Oh, the irony.
