Alcohol Is Culture?

I WOULD like to voice my disappointment about the Unam cultural festival.The issue is that the purpose of the whole event is confusing me.

I am not quite sure whether it is for the promotion of alcoholism. I have noticed that the most prominent activity at the festival is alcohol consumption.The cultural activities that do take place are few and far between.I have been to two previous festivals at Unam and always alcohol is the most prominent factor.The ‘culture’ seems to be who can drink the most and not who can participate in the cultural activities.Students only look forward to this event because it is a chance to get in on the drinking and they don’t need to go to lectures.It is high time the organisers re-evaluate the purpose of the cultural festival, unless we want the leaders of tomorrow to drown in alcohol along with our cultures.S C Nikodemus Unam StudentI have noticed that the most prominent activity at the festival is alcohol consumption.The cultural activities that do take place are few and far between.I have been to two previous festivals at Unam and always alcohol is the most prominent factor.The ‘culture’ seems to be who can drink the most and not who can participate in the cultural activities.Students only look forward to this event because it is a chance to get in on the drinking and they don’t need to go to lectures.It is high time the organisers re-evaluate the purpose of the cultural festival, unless we want the leaders of tomorrow to drown in alcohol along with our cultures.S C Nikodemus Unam Student
